The Detroit Pistons playing "Spoiler" throws nothing but "Salt" in the Hawks Game driving for that #8 Seed in the East. The Pistons get a huge effort from Combo Guard Rodney "Stuck" Stuckey and and that mammoth of a front line in Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe.

With Detroit Basketball leading 58-52 at the break the Hawks cut that lead to three trailing 81-78 at the end of three.  ATL got as close as 86-85 with just under seven minutes to go but could not get any closer as the Pistons close it out behind "Stuck" and Drummond. "Stuck" led the Pistons and a game-high 29 points shooting 12 of 14 from the stripe. Greg Monroe (21 pts 13 rebs) and Mr. Drummond (19 pts 17 rebs) lit the Hawks Front Line up all night long like the Hawks were waiting for the Peach to Drop!

The Hawks were led All-Star Paul Milsap's 24 points as he grabbed a Dozen Oranges. Jeff Teague added 15 points and nine helpers with Pero Antic 13 and nine boards. The Hawks looking to clinch now lead the Knicks by just two games with the Knicks having four games to play and ATL five games left. Pistons packing it up as their 2013-14 performance looks to cost longtime Detroit Basketball Prez Joe Dumars his gig!
