In halftime interview, De’Andre Hunter mentioned not giving up transition baskets after made baskets of their own, and methinks Quin Snyder doth protested this play loudly during the timeout that followed it. pic.twitter.com/r7Up1Ux6Fq – 8:40 PM

Halftime: Hawks 59, Pistons 50. Atlanta closed the half with a 17-8 run. Detroit’s 18-49 (37%) from the floor and 3-11 from 3. Free throws (11-13) are the reason it’s not a double-digit deficit.
Flynn: 17 points (5-8 overall)
Duren: 9 points (4-11)
Ivey: 8 points (3-11) – 8:33 PM

Ahh.. here we go.
Detroit has continued to miss everything and the Hawks are making their 3s.
11-point deficit just like that – 8:30 PM

Bogdanovic (the other one) hits a 3, Murray hits another, and the Pistons are suddenly down 11. Their lack of shotmaking is starting to catch up. – 8:30 PM

With his first make from deep tonight, Bogdan Bogdanovic has broken a tie with Kyle Korver (221 3FGM, 2014-15) and Mookie Blaylock (221 3FGM, 1996-97) for the third-most triples in a single season in club history. – 8:29 PM

I’m not sure if Jaden Ivey was running at the referee to protest a call or his own bench to ask for a review, but whatever it was, Jalen Duren corralled him with one arm like he was scooping up a calico cat. – 8:23 PM

Flynn has eight points in four minutes and just tied the game at 23. I’m not sure how the Hawks aren’t up 10+. Helps that Detroit has an 8-2 advantage in free throw attempts (they’ve hit seven) – 8:02 PM
