Pistons-Hawks Preview

The Atlanta Hawks continue to roll as they remain the only undefeated team in the Eastern Conference. With the winless Detroit Pistons up next, they stand a good chance to keep their perfect record intact.

Atlanta will look to open 5-0 for the second time in three seasons when it hosts the Pistons on Wednesday night.

The Hawks (4-0) have received a tremendous effort from Joe Johnson on the offensive side of the ball, but its their work on the glass that has them off to a strong start.

They've limited opponents to 38.2 rebounds per game - amongst the lowest in the NBA - thanks in large part to Al Horford, who is averaging over 10 boards for the first time in his career.

Fresh off signing a five-year, $60 million extension Monday, Horford scored 16 points and matched a season high with 12 rebounds for his third straight double-double in the Hawks' 100-88 win at Cleveland on Tuesday night.

"I'm glad that it's finalized and that he's going to be a Hawk for a long time," said coach Larry Drew.

Horford could be in line for another big game against the Pistons, whom he has averaged 14.7 points and 10.4 rebounds against over the previous two seasons.

After scoring 20-plus points in each of his first three games, Johnson was limited to 15 on 6 of 21 from the floor, but made up for the lack of scoring by dishing out a game-high nine assists.

The Hawks will be looking to get Johnson back on track, as they are 4-1 against Detroit - which is allowing 104 points per game - when he scores at least 25 points.

Marvin Williams, who had 22 points Tuesday, is excited about the team's direction.

"We're flying under the radar," Williams said. "I don't think anyone's upset about it. We know what we're capable of doing. We have confidence in ourselves. We have to show it every night."

While Atlanta hasn't been stopped, Detroit (0-4) has had problems getting things going and might be without Richard Hamilton again.

Hamilton, who averages 19.8 points against the Hawks in Atlanta, sat out Tuesday night's 109-86 home loss to Boston with a sore right foot and his status for Wednesday is unknown.

The Pistons are 0-4 for the first time since 1999-00 despite five players scoring in double figures.

Ben Gordon started in place of Hamilton and came into the game averaging 21.7 points, but finished with 14 before fouling out.

Tayshaun Prince, who has scored in double figures during the first four games of a season for the second time in his nine-year career, was limited to a season-low 10 points and knows the team needs to step up going forward.

"It starts with us in this locker room but it goes to everybody else as well," Prince said. "When you're 0-4, you don't just look at the team, you've got to look at everybody as a whole."

The Pistons have averaged 86.2 points during a four-game losing streak in Atlanta.

Hawks move to 5-0, beat winless Pistons 94-85

ATLANTA (AP) Joe Johnson was struggling, Jamal Crawford was watching in street clothes and the rebounds were falling away from Atlanta players.

No matter. The Hawks still found a way in the final minutes to pull out another win.

Al Horford had six straight points in an 18-4 run to finish the game and the undefeated Hawks beat the winless Detroit Pistons 94-85 on Wednesday night.

Josh Smith had 22 points and 11 rebounds as the Hawks (5-0) remained the only unbeaten team in the Eastern Conference.

"We haven't yet played our best, but we're still winning," said Johnson, who made only 5-of-15 shots for 14 points and had a game-high eight assists.

"We're starting to grow. It's a beautiful thing to see."

Ben Gordon had 22 points but it wasn't enough for Detroit.

The Pistons are 0-5 for the first time since the 1980-81 season, when they started 0-7. They won their fifth game after starting 0-4 in 1999-2000.

"Nobody envisioned it but obviously it's something we're going to deal with now and try to figure out (how) to go forward with this," forward Tayshaun Prince said.

Prince, who had 17 points, hit a 3-pointer to give Detroit an 81-76 lead. The Hawks then took over with the closing run over the final 6:13.

"I thought our guys played their hearts out," Pistons coach John Kuester said. "Coming down the stretch, again, we've just got to make sure we're efficient."

Horford had 18 points, Zaza Pachulia scored 12 and Marvin Williams added 11.

Charlie Villanueva had 14 points for Detroit.

The Pistons used their 17-3 advantage in offensive rebounds to take a 16-6 lead in second-chance points. The Hawks averaged 44 rebounds in their first four wins, but they were outrebounded 38-35 by the Pistons.

"We were a little careless in that area," said Horford, who had eight rebounds as his streak of three straight double-doubles ended. "It almost cost us."

The Hawks led 70-66 entering the final quarter. Gordon opened the period with consecutive baskets to start a 10-2 run that gave the Pistons a 76-72 lead.

The most important minutes to close the game belonged to Atlanta.

"If there's one thing about this team that I'm starting to see, it's more and more maturity," said Hawks coach Larry Drew. "We aren't panicking, especially down the stretch."

The Hawks were without Crawford, their top sub who suffered a right turf toe injury in Tuesday night's win at Cleveland. Crawford, chosen as the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year last season, is averaging 15.8 points.

Crawford said after the game he hopes to play Friday at Minnesota.

The Hawks already were without another top backup, guard Maurice Evans, who missed his fourth straight game with a right knee injury. Then Williams left the game with 6:34 remaining after landing hard on his right knee in a battle with Greg Monroe for a loose ball.

"I just banged it," Williams said. "We'll see how it feels in the morning."

Hawks rookie Jordan Crawford, who played only two minutes over the first four games, moved into a more prominent role and scored his first career points with a jumper late in the first quarter. It was his only basket of the game.

The Pistons took advantage of Gordon's matchup with Mike Bibby. Gordon opened the game with a reverse layup and continued to attack Bibby, scoring 11 of the Pistons' first 16 points.

Notes: The Pistons made only 3-of-17 3-point shots. Villanueva was 0 for 5. ... Pistons G Richard Hamilton (sore right foot) missed his second straight game. F Tracy McGrady played after he was listed as questionable with a sore left knee. ... The Hawks shot 60 percent from the field in the first half and still trailed 48-44. They shot 53.7 percent for the game.

THE FACTS: Al Horford scored six straight points to key a late 18-4 run as the Atlanta Hawks moved to 5-0 with a 94-85 victory over the Detroit Pistons Wednesday night at Philips Arena. Josh Smith led the Hawks with 22 points and 11 rebounds, while Horford put in 18 and grabbed eight boards. Ben Gordon had 22 and Tayshaun Prince added 17 for the Pistons, who fell to 0-5.

QUOTABLE: "We're starting to grow. It's a beautiful thing to see, to watch, to be a part of. Knowing where we've come from as a team, as an organization, it's a good feeling."

-- Joe Johnson on the Hawks' start

THE STAT: Atlanta shot 6-for-6 over a 3:54 stretch of the fourth as part of a game-ending 8-for-11 run, undoing a splendid effort by Detroit to that point.

TURNING POINT: Ironically, in a game in which Detroit dominated the offensive boards, an offensive rebound by Greg Monroe turned the tide. On the play, Horford committed a loose-ball foul and Monroe fell on top of Marvin Williams, forcing the Hawks forward out of the game with a knee injury. After a Prince three on the ensuing possession, Zaza Pachulia replaced Williams and the Hawks ratcheted up the defensive intensity. They limited the Pistons to 2-for-9 shooting the rest of the way (one of those was a lay-up by Prince in the closing seconds).

QUOTABLE II: "77 more to go."

-- Zaza Pachulia when asked about being 5-0

HOT: Pachulia shot 6-for-7 for the game, 4-for-5 in the second half. He came into the game shooting .625 on the season. He's now at .696. The Hawks shot well the entire night, outshooting the Pistons .574 to .400 and actually were trailing at halftime despite shooting .600 from the floor.

NOT: Detroit forward Austin Daye came into the game hitting only .333 and left at .294, following a 2-for-12 night. Typical of his frustration was a third-quarter possession where he missed a layup, grabbed the rebound, missed a second attempt, grabbed a second offensive rebound and missed a third attempt

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Monroe was a force on the glass, grabbing a game-high six offensive rebounds and a team-high eight caroms. He also dished out three assists. His shooting wasn't as fantastic, as he converted only 3 of 9 and only 1 of 4 from the foul line. Johnson didn't do his fantasy owners any favors, shooting 5-for-15, only 2-for-7 from three.

GOOD MOVE: Hawks head coach Larry Drew inserted Pachulia at center when Williams was hurt. That allowed Horford to move to power forward, his natural position. He was much too quick for the Pistons defenders and too powerful, grabbing three big rebounds as Atlanta pulled away.

ROOKIE WATCH: Monroe was superb. Hawks rookie Jordan Crawford, got extra minutes replacing injured Jamal Crawford and played a career-high 9:04. He also scored his first career NBA points on a 20-foot jumper at the end of the first quarter.

NOTABLE: Williams grabbed his 2,000th career rebound with 6:32 remaining in the first quarter.

UP NEXT: For the Hawks, Friday @ Timberwolves, Saturday vs. Suns, Monday @ Orlando. For The Pistons, Friday vs. Charlotte, Sunday vs. Golden State, Tuesday @ Trail Blazers.
