I asked Nate McMillan if he feels like the Hawks play every game with playoff-level intensity, which is something Danilo Gallinari said they don’t a few games ago.
McMillan said the Hawks had heavy legs tonight. – 9:27 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Nate McMillan on if Jalen Johnson could get more minutes:
“We’ll see. But I thought he earned some minutes tonight. What he did out on the floor, I liked what I saw from him at that 4 position. He was rebounding for us, which is something we desperately need.” – 9:27 PM Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Bagley: “Everybody’s sticking with it. We know what we’re trying to get to. Every game, I feel like we’re getting better. Win or lose, we do a lot of great things out there. We’re just continuing to learn off each other, from each other.” – 9:27 PM Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard

Jamorko Pickett’s jumper is so pretty – 9:06 PM James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade is so frustrated that he can’t get a call. You see it on his face three or four times a game. He rarely lashes out about it, but you can see it. – 9:04 PM Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa

#Pistons Marvin Bagley III throwin’ back reverse oops now?
Okay, then. – 8:58 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Good for Kevin Huerter getting that tech. A prime-time Product Dilutor fouled him twice. – 8:58 PM James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
If you’re into lottery odds and all that stuff, a win tonight isn’t the end of the world because one of OKC or Orlando has to win tonight, and both are ahead of Detroit. – 8:58 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
I’d be suspended for life if I played for the Hawks. Kelly O put two hands on Huerter on that drive and then fouled him on the arm. No call for that superstar. Marvin Bagley travelled a little while before and no call after OO got whistled for his. Most disrespected team. – 8:57 PM Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Dwane Casey is going to challenge that offensive foul called on Cade Cunningham.
Either way, the technical foul on Kevin Huerter still stands – 8:55 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR

Since he got fully acclimated in the NBA, Cade Cunningham has some really amazing flashes. A born-leader guy can change the rules for the Pistons future. Games like that against the Hawks came to prove it. #Pistons – 8:30 PM Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Isaiah Stewart got switched on to Trae Young, and he stuck with him the entire way, leading to a travel call.
That was impressive. – 8:29 PM James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII

Bones Hyland is up to 37.6% from three on deeeeep shots. He averages more 3PAs per game than every rookie but Cade Cunningham and Jalen Green, and he’s at a way higher percentage.
Might need to break out the All-Rookie campaign pretty soon. He’s doing this on a winning team. – 4:27 PM Justin Kubatko @jkubatko

Hawks have a notable shortage of PFs tonight with no Collins and no Gallinari.
We’ve seen plenty of Hunter at PF but it’s also 2nd night of a B2B. Someone else is going to need substantial time at PF.
So what gives? – 1:44 PM Ian Begley @IanBegley

I asked Nate McMillan if he feels like the Hawks play every game with playoff-level intensity, which is something Danilo Gallinari said they don’t a few games ago.
McMillan said the Hawks had heavy legs tonight. – 9:27 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Nate McMillan on if Jalen Johnson could get more minutes:
“We’ll see. But I thought he earned some minutes tonight. What he did out on the floor, I liked what I saw from him at that 4 position. He was rebounding for us, which is something we desperately need.” – 9:27 PM Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Bagley: “Everybody’s sticking with it. We know what we’re trying to get to. Every game, I feel like we’re getting better. Win or lose, we do a lot of great things out there. We’re just continuing to learn off each other, from each other.” – 9:27 PM Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard

I’d be suspended for life if I played for the Hawks. Kelly O put two hands on Huerter on that drive and then fouled him on the arm. No call for that superstar. Marvin Bagley travelled a little while before and no call after OO got whistled for his. Most disrespected team. – 8:57 PM Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard

Bones Hyland is up to 37.6% from three on deeeeep shots. He averages more 3PAs per game than every rookie but Cade Cunningham and Jalen Green, and he’s at a way higher percentage.
Might need to break out the All-Rookie campaign pretty soon. He’s doing this on a winning team. – 4:27 PM Justin Kubatko @jkubatko

Hawks have a notable shortage of PFs tonight with no Collins and no Gallinari.
We’ve seen plenty of Hunter at PF but it’s also 2nd night of a B2B. Someone else is going to need substantial time at PF.
So what gives? – 1:44 PM Ian Begley @IanBegley
