The Atlanta Hawks (39 - 29) won a shootout over the Detroit Pistons (34 - 34) Wednesday night at the Palace of Auburn Hills, 118 - 114. This one was explosive from the start, as each team scored at least 30 points in both the first and second quarters, with the Pistons taking a narrow 62 - 61 lead into halftime. The Pistons built their largest lead of the game in the third quarter at 82 - 71, but an Al Horford three - pointer kickstarted a 13 - 2 Hawks run to tie the game. The game remained tight until the final minutes, but the Pistons could n't buy a bucket late in the fourth quarter, as they went without a field goal from 4:34 to 1:18 remaining in the game. Over that span, Atlanta turned a 103 - 103 tie into a 113 - 104 lead, a lead they would n't relinquish. Jeff Teague led the Hawks with 22 points and nine assists, as he did the majority of his scoring at the free throw line (12 - 13 FT). Al Horford posted one of three Hawks double - doubles with 21 points (9 - 15 FG) and 11 rebounds; he was joined by Kent Bazemore (15 points, 10 rebounds) and Paul Millsap (13 points, 10 rebounds). The Hawks shot just 44 percent from the floor but nailed 12 three - pointers and made 28 of their 34 free - throw attempts (82 percent). Kentavius Caldwell-Pope scored a game - high 24 points (7 - 15 FG, 3 - 8 3PT, 7 - 9 FT). Andre Drummond scored 18 and grabbed 18 rebounds but missed nine free throws (8 - 17, 47 percent). Tobias Harris (19 points, 11 rebounds) and Reggie Jackson (17 points, 10 assists) also recorded double - doubles. The Pistons had their offense working inside, as they shot 53 percent from inside and earned 39 trips to the free throw line, but because of their inability to connect from deep (8 - 32 3PT, 32 percent) they could n't keep up with the Hawks attack. The Hawks host the Nuggets on Thursday. The Pistons return home for a Friday matchup against the Kings.
