The Pistons had yet to beat the Atlanta Hawks after failing to do so in back-to-back games at Little Caesars Arena in October.
That trend continued as Detroit fell in a 130-105 loss to the Hawks on Friday at State Farm Arena. It marked the fifth straight loss for the Pistons (8-27), their third five-game skid of the season. The loss also marked the Pistons' third consecutive loss by at least 15 points.
The Pistons started the game well from 3-point range with four of their first six triples going down. Isaiah Stewart, who failed to make his last six triples entering Friday night, knocked down two 3-pointers in the first quarter. The team was well balanced in scoring to start, but Bojan Bogdanovic and Killian Hayes picked up two fouls apiece and spent the rest of the period on the bench.
