The Hawks ( 19 - 12 ) escaped a scare from the Pistons ( 17 - 13 ) for a 107 - 100 win at Philips Arena on Wednesday . After a fairly even first quarter , the Hawks took control with a 19 - 7 run to end the first half with a 16 - point lead . Atlanta shot well over 50 percent from the field through three quarters and were still employing the `` Hack-a-Drummond `` strategy late in the game despite the score . Andre Drummond would go on to finish 7 - of - 18 from the charity stripe . The Pistons got hot in the fourth quarter and cut the deficit to seven points , but were unable to complete the comeback . The loss for Detroit ended a three - game win streak which landed the Pistons in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race . But an inconsistent effort Wednesday - - particularly on the offensive side of the ball - - knocked them back a bit with teams so close in the standings . There were n't many bright spots in the game - - besides the fourth quarter - - and while Drummond 's free - throw shooting put the Pistons in a bind , he still managed to finish with 25 points and 12 rebounds for his league - leading 26th double - double . It was a fifth straight win for the Hawks and fifth game scoring 100 or more points as Atlanta is playing its best basketball since starting the season 7 - 1 . The win also thrusts the Hawks into sole possession of second place in the Eastern Conference behind the Cavaliers , who defeated the Knicks 91 - 84 to improve to 19 - 7 . The big shot of the night came from Kyle Korver , who moved into a tie with Rashard Lewis for ninth on the NBA/ABA all - time 3 - pointers made list with his 1,787th career trey . The Hawks bench outscored the Pistons reserves 34 - 17 .
