Kris Willis and Robby Kalland discuss Wednesday's double overtime win against the Pistons and also take a look toward Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Hawks had a 22-point lead early in the fourth, only to see it erased by the Pistons and Will Bynum. The Hawks forced overtime and were finally able to top Detroit in double-overtime behind Jeff Teague, Josh Smith, Al Horford, and Lou Williams.
The Hawks had a big lead early and a big lead late, but the Pistons fought back in throughout the game behind an historic bench performance (85 points) led by 31 from Will Bynum. The Hawks proved too much in double overtime led by double-doubles from Josh Smith, Al Horford, and Jeff Teague.
The Hawks will send out the same starting lineup from Saturday's win over the Bulls for tonight's matchup with the Pistons. Jeff Teague, Lou Williams, Kyle Korver, Josh Smith, and Al Horford.
The Hawks have had three days since their last game, a 92-75 victory over the Bulls on Saturday, and spent shootaround getting back into basketball form as they prepare for the Detroit Pistons.
