In a matchup with major implications for the Eastern Conference playoffs , the surging Atlanta Hawks ( 44 - 30 ) took down the host Detroit Pistons ( 39 - 35 ) 112 - 95 . Atlanta has now won eight of its last nine contests and holds a full game lead over the Boston Celtics for third in the Eastern Conference . The Hawks looked like the dominant team the league saw in 2014 - 15 in Detroit , as they were able to handily blow out a playoff contender . Atlanta recorded a whopping 34 team assists and even more impressively turned the ball over just four times as a unit . The absolutely unheard of ball security allowed Atlanta to control the game despite a 54 - 39 rebounding deficit . Players across the Hawks roster got involved , as all five starters and three bench players scored in double - digits . The near - perfect team play will likely bode well for Atlanta as the season comes to a close . Detroit , meanwhile , is left battling division rival Chicago for the last playoff spot in the East . The Pistons remain two games up on the spot , but have seven contests remaining before they are home free . All-Star Andre Drummond had a big 19 points and 17 rebounds on Saturday , but could n't do enough get the job done against the red - hot Hawks . The Pistons shot just 39 percent from the field , struggling to find their shot all night . Detroit will host the Thunder on Tuesday , whlie Atlanta will visit Chicago on Monday .
