AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - The Detroit Pistons knew they had a chance at an easy win Saturday night. For once, they were able to take it. Nazr Mohammed had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and the Pistons blocked a season-high 16 shots in a 108-81 victory over the undermanned Atlanta Hawks.
"For the first time this season, we were able to just come out and do what we needed to do," Chauncey Billups said. "We just took control and never looked back. We should have a lot more games like that."
Atlanta was missing five players due to injury, including four of its six leading scorers. The Hawks only dressed 10 players, two short of the maximum, and lost their fourth in a row.
