01:31You have to have a sense of resiliency to be able to be down on the road,
01:35fall back, and fight back.
01:36And the Hawks have shown that going 9 of 13 wins.
01:40And the man who embodies all of those traits is this man, Jalen Johnson.
01:44Last night, sensational, 41 points in Philadelphia, a new career high.
01:49I thought that he was clutch because, again, when you saw how that game was last night,
01:53we're up 8, and you pretty much took your foot off the pedal.
01:56And then Philly lets you back into it.
01:58I thought that Jalen Johnson, again, as we always talk about, is phenomenal.
02:02And all around, he came up clutch, hit two free throws for us to be able to go into that second overtime.
02:07And in and out of second overtime, had two big threes.
02:10He has shown that he is the rising star for this Atlanta Hawks team,
02:14and his team has done a good job of being able to follow up.
02:17The Hawks tonight, like the rest of the NBA, have to deal with this man, Cade Cunningham,
02:22who has put together an unbelievable month of November for this Detroit team.
02:27The unquestioned leader of this pack.
02:29And when you look at what he does, I mean, this is the guy that's at the stake.
02:33In the last five games, averaging 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists.
02:38He shows that at the end of the game, he is the first one to be able to damage a lot of teams.
02:43He'll have to deal with Dyson Daniels as we talk about all these great competitors
02:48that are facing our defensive ace.
02:50That's coming up when we continue from the Motor City right after this.
02:56Atlanta Hawks basketball is brought to you by Georgia Drive Chevy.
03:00Visit your local Chevy dealer.
03:02By Racetrack.
03:04And by holidays at the Georgia Aquarium.
03:08Welcome back to the Motor City, everybody.
03:12The Hawks and Pistons getting ready to have at it here in downtown Detroit.
03:17This lineup of great opponents continues tonight with Cade Cunningham.
03:21We saw Donovan Mitchell in Atlanta last Friday night and last night in Philadelphia.
03:25The unbelievable performance by Tyrese Maxey.
03:28But when you talk in defense, the guy who always is ready and rises to the occasion
03:32is Dyson Daniels of the Hawks.
03:35He talked about what it meant to be ready to play these great opponents
03:38in our Michelob Ultra courtside close-up with Matt Weiner.
03:43Yeah, I mean, I like guarding the best player.
03:45I like taking that challenge.
03:46And, you know, I like, you know, keeping my matchup.
03:48But, you know, sometimes, you know, there's good screen setters that's going to get me off him.
03:52And, you know, we've got to shift for each other.
03:54You know, we've got to have each other's back and rotate for each other.
03:56So it's just about, you know, playing that team defense.
03:59But, you know, trying to make it as tough as I can on my matchup.
04:02So the matchup tonight, at least the obvious one, would be Cade Cunningham,
04:05who's playing as well as anybody in the league right now.
04:08How do you go about preparing for a night like this?
04:10Yeah, I mean, he's a good player.
04:12And it's about being physical with him, you know, taking him out of what he wants to do.
04:15And obviously he's very good at finding people.
04:18So for me, it's just about keeping him in front, making him take tough shots,
04:23you know, picking him up, you know, being physical.
04:26And, yeah, you know, if I can make him take, you know, tough turnaround twos,
04:29you know, tough threes, then, you know, I'm doing my job.
04:31And he leads the league in total steals once again.
04:35Dyson Daniels.
04:37The lineups and the tip ball from Detroit right after this.
04:40Out of their last 12, as they take on the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference,
04:50the Detroit Pistons.
04:51Season to give is brought to you by Alexa Plus.
04:57This Detroit team is a very powerful basketball team,
05:00and they do their work in the paint.
05:02They lead the league in points in the paint.
05:04So as we come to our four keys to the game, Brian, the attention for the Hawks,
05:08and for you, sir, has to begin inside.
05:11Absolutely.
05:12We talked about the matchup between Cade Cunningham and Dyson Daniels,
05:16but the one that I'm looking at is Onyeka Okungwu and Jalen Duren.
05:19Both of those guys had good games the last time we saw this team on the 18th.
05:22The other thing for me is the stats.
05:25As you see, the lineups right here, guys to focus on, you see Jennings in the lineup for the business.
05:30Our Toyota starters, no Duncan Robinson tonight for Detroit.
05:36He is out with that white ankle soreness.
05:38He did play in Miami over the weekend in his homecoming game.
05:41So, Dennis Jenkins will get the start in the backcourt.
05:46Opening tip to Atlanta in white Pistons.
05:50In the black uniforms here this evening.
05:52As we get going, second seasonal matchup between the two.
05:55We will play in Detroit three times this season, only once in Atlanta.
05:59Alexander Walker with a soft touch.
06:02And I like the fact that the Hawks come out and you start out with two little pin actions
06:05to kill Alexander Walker to hit the bank.
06:09Here comes Detroit.
06:11They are 7-2 here at home.
06:14And overall, 16-4.
06:16Tobias Harris off the rim.
06:18Loose ball picked up and a foul on Reese's show.
06:20Which brings us to the Ford keys to the game.
06:24And this is that matchup, Brian, you're looking at with Duren and Akongwu.
06:27And you look at those first two, and I thought both of those guys had serious games in Atlanta
06:31back on the 18th.
06:32And the impact stack is the Pistons' points in the paint.
06:35This is a team that averages 59 points in the paint.
06:38Last time we played them gave us 66.
06:40And the X factor for me, Bob, is that we have to box out.
06:42You just saw Jalen Duren hit that offensive glass.
06:45Hawks have to box out and finish those possessions with the defensive rebound.
06:51First free throw by Jalen pops out.
06:56Terrific rebounder.
06:58In fact, he was number one in the NBA in the month of November in rebounds per game at 12.6.
07:05Excellent shot blocker.
07:07He really controls the paint.
07:08Splits the pair to put Detroit on the board.
07:13Here come the Hawks.
07:15A lot of minutes, a lot of travel last night.
07:18It's interesting to see how the Hawks respond here physically.
07:21It is a challenge in the paint.
07:23One-hander good by Onyeka.
07:25And Dyson Dames occupies so much time right there in the paint.
07:28Jalen Duren was coming to help Onyeka Akongwu.
07:31Did a good job of flashing to the middle.
07:32Did a little teardrop at the rim.
07:35Cunningham.
07:37Jenkins hits the brakes.
07:38Turns it over.
07:40Had nowhere to go with that pass.
07:41Akil waiting.
07:45Daniels will scoop it up on the left hand and scores.
07:48Daniels with a little bit of jelly on that one.
07:50That last time was looking for someone to pass it to.
07:52And then got it right up at the rim.
07:54Hawks did a really good start so far.
07:55Tobias Harris drives in on Jalen.
08:03Good coverage by J.J.
08:05Out of the corner.
08:06And Jenkins.
08:08Left elbow jumper good.
08:10And Jenkins is one of those guys, again, that can do everything.
08:13See him get to the lane with a little pull-up.
08:18Tip pass and a steal by Cunningham.
08:20Into the hands of Thompson.
08:22Corner three for Jenkins.
08:27And Johnson taps the rebound over to his teammate.
08:32Pull-up three on the move over Harris is no good.
08:35And the rebound to Durant.
08:39Number three in the NBA.
08:40A total rebound.
08:41Over 11 a game.
08:42And there he goes.
08:43Just like he did in Atlanta.
08:45If you're a Yanko Kongo, you want to sit on that right hand.
08:47Because if he starts downhill, hard to stop because he's got momentum.
08:51Something that he did well.
08:5224 points against the Hawks the last game.
08:56Daniels moves in but rolled this one off the rim.
09:01Jenkins will pull the three.
09:04Long rebound comes to him.
09:06Not Cunningham.
09:10Jenkins on a switch against Akonwu.
09:13Feeds it up top to Harris.
09:16And the rebound is tapped to the wing.
09:18And Durant takes it into Gucci.
09:20Roll out of bounds.
09:226-5, Atlanta.
09:34Alexander Walker.
09:3634 last night.
09:38Put together an outstanding offensive month in November.
09:42Best of his career.
09:44Hoked away by Durant.
09:45And Yanko goes back to get it.
09:47Short clock at 6.
09:49Nikhil against Cunningham.
09:503-2 to shoot.
09:52Nikhil baseline.
09:53Had it blocked.
09:55And the shot clock inspired.
09:56This is going to be Atlanta ball.
09:58Good Detroit ball.
09:59Good defense by Cunningham that last time.
10:02Nikhil Alexander Walker.
10:03Trying to put the ball on the floor.
10:04That's what you see.
10:05We talked about the scoring.
10:06But at 6-8.
10:07He's got a lot of length.
10:09Does a good job of being able to continue that shot.
10:11Kade Cunningham on the slow jog over the timeline.
10:22Durant brings it to the top.
10:24Booms in on Yanko.
10:25And left it short.
10:26There was that left hand.
10:28Not nearly as effective.
10:30Alexander Walker.
10:31Grisa Shea.
10:32Going up.
10:34Missed it through contact.
10:35Long rebound to Harris.
10:37Tobias to the other end.
10:38Lobs.
10:39But Durant couldn't handle it.
10:40It's out of bounds.
10:41Good job by the Hawks to get back in transition defense.
10:44The last time you saw Tobias Harris go for that lob.
10:47Hawks did a good job of being able to get that and force that turnover.
10:49Daniels tried to force that bounce pass through to Kade Cunningham.
10:55Wise to his ways.
10:57Had it taken out of his hands but fouled in the process.
11:08The foul on Jalen Johnson.
11:10Will send Kade Cunningham to the line.
11:15Basketball fans.
11:16Fan dual pitch is now available in your state.
11:18And right now new customers can play $5 and get $60 in bonus credits, win or lose.
11:24Join fan dual pitch today.
11:26The easiest way to play.
11:29Kade Cunningham has been on a massive roll.
11:33In the month of November he established a Piston franchise record for scoring in a month
11:37at 31.6 points per game.
11:41The old record for any month was established by Jerry Stackhouse back in 2001.
11:47And Cunningham beat that mark with a recently concluded month of November.
11:522-2 tonight to make it 7-6 Detroit.
11:57Riesa Shea.
12:01JJ stripped by Thompson.
12:05Harris saves.
12:07Thompson has it.
12:08Jenkins intercepted by Riesa Shea.
12:15Hawks come 4-on-2.
12:17Riesa Shea to the corner.
12:19Alexander Walker.
12:20No.
12:21Over the rim to Dyson Daniels.
12:24Back up top to Zach.
12:25The Kongwu.
12:26And he's got that first three of the night.
12:29Brian.
12:29He was 0-7 last night in Philly.
12:31And the Hawks are doing a good job of being able to capitalize on the early turnovers by
12:34the Pistons.
12:35Again, Onyeka Kongwu understands that Jaden Duren is not going to be as quick to come out
12:40and challenge him at the three-point line.
12:43Thompson trying to create space.
12:45Corkscrews and travel.
12:46And good defense by Zachary Riesa Shea using his length and defending without fouling.
12:52Again, what you've seen is that the Hawks doing a better job of guarding their yard
12:55and not getting broken down by this Pistons offense.
13:02Dyson Daniels directs traffic.
13:04We're just about five minutes in to our Monday night of basketball here in Detroit.
13:09To the corner, Nikhil.
13:11Nice.
13:12That's a three for Alexander Walker.
13:14We're in a timeout for J.B. Bickerstaff and the Pistons.
13:18The Hawks on a 6-0 run to take a five-point lead here.
13:22And Nikhil Alexander Walker with that sweet stroke from the corner.
13:27Timeout in the Motor City with the Hawks on top 12-7.
13:32We're back in Motown where the Hawks lead the Pistons 12-7.
13:36And it is time once again for Know Your Phone.
13:39This Pistons team is becoming more known by the day as it piles up wins.
13:44There's 16-4 record.
13:46He's tied for the second best in franchise history.
13:49And they seem to be tapping into some old-school Piston DNA to do it.
13:53They've got the number five defense in the league in terms of efficiency.
13:57And Benjamin Moore didn't spend this much time in the paint.
14:00The Pistons score there more than any team in the league.
14:03And had 76 paint points in their win in Miami Saturday.
14:06But, of course, none of it works without the former number one overall pick, Kate Cunningham,
14:11the prohibitive favorite for Eastern Conference Player of the Month after a ridiculous November.
14:16He's also third in the league in clutch points for a team that is 11-3 in those games.
14:21Guys, they are rolling right now.
14:23And they are coming off an incredible back-to-back of their own, Matt.
14:29J.B. Bickerstaff's team lost a tough game here at home on Friday night to Orlando.
14:33Had to fly all the way to Miami to play on Saturday.
14:36They got to the hotel at 4 in the morning and had a 22-point lead late in the fourth quarter against the Heat.
14:42Held off the Miami Chargers down the stretch and ended up winning that game.
14:48That is a tough back-to-back.
14:49It is.
14:50And in that game, they had 76 points in the paint.
14:52If you see Mo Gay come in and give Onyeka Okongwu a breather.
14:57This Pistons team has shown that they've got a team that plays defense.
15:01They do a good job of being able to stifle you.
15:03But I like what the Hawks have been able to come out in this first quarter to Bob.
15:06You see Karras LeVert and then Isaiah Stewart check into the game for the Pistons.
15:11The last foul was charged to Jenkins as he exits to the bench.
15:19LeVert's going to guard Brisa Shea here.
15:22Karras LeVert with the Hawks last season.
15:25Will be forever remembered for that winning bucket in Memphis.
15:29Brisa Shea.
15:30And the rebound belongs to Stewart.
15:33Here come the Pistons.
15:35Detroit, two of seven here in the early going, but only two points in the paint.
15:39Cunningham for three.
15:43Mo Gay fighting for the rebound, but Duren wins the battle in the corner.
15:48Powers is way to the hole.
15:50And that's where he's at his best.
15:51That last time Dyson Daniels came over to offer help.
15:54But then Jalen Duren basically pulling a china shop.
15:57Watch the crossover and Dyson gets there.
15:59But he just can't.
16:00And he's no match for Jalen Duren as he bullies him in to get that and one opportunity to finish at the free throw line.
16:05And between Jalen Duren and Cade Cunningham, they take the vast majority of the Piston free throws.
16:16In fact, when you combine the free throw attempts for Cade and Duren, that's 46% of the entire team total.
16:23And, Bob, you know what you're going to get from Cade Cunningham.
16:26I think that a lot of their success is the jump that Jalen Duren has taken as being more offensive-minded.
16:31Normally, he's a rebounder and a guy that's going to play defense, but taking his offense to another level.
16:36Alexander Walker bumps into Duren, kicks it back to Mo Gay.
16:40Seven on the shot clock.
16:44Nice to Daniels.
16:46On the bounce.
16:47It's going to be out of bounds for Atlanta, but only .8 remaining on the shot clock.
16:52And that's what makes this Piston team so good is that they lock down the paint and they force you out of your comfort zone.
16:58Hawks got to continue to work with their spacing.
17:03Tips.
17:04Shot clock violation.
17:06Shot clock violation.
17:07Five began, of course, as soon as the ball was touched.
17:10One Snyder.
17:13So appreciative of the team's effort last night.
17:16You look at the minutes in a double overtime game.
17:18Jalen played 45 and Yucca 47.
17:21Dice and 44.
17:22The keel, 44.
17:24And to have to travel and come right back against this team, it's a tall task.
17:2812-10.
17:32Duren, what a nice move.
17:34Did not finish.
17:36Jalen in transition.
17:38Leaves to Shea, catch and shoot.
17:40Long rebound for Jalen Johnson.
17:43He's going to go up.
17:43Little floater.
17:44Follows.
17:45Misses.
17:46And a foul on Detroit.
17:48Jalen Duren.
17:49And what you see for the Pistons, when they have both Stewart and Duren out on the floor,
17:53Hawks can do a better job of being able to attack them.
17:55Because, again, you literally have two bigs with the Hawks out there.
17:59Spread them out.
18:00And that's one of the things, again, Jalen Johnson.
18:02Watch this right here.
18:03It's the fact that he makes that fake.
18:04And then you get there a little late.
18:06You see, Duren comes over and fouls him.
18:08Officially, they charge that foul to Stewart, but he wasn't even in the play.
18:17That had to go against Jalen Duren.
18:19I'm sure they'll change that.
18:22Here's Luke Kennard from a Piston coming in.
18:26Came into the league in a Piston uniform, did Luke Kennard back nine years ago.
18:30First-round pick of Detroit, the 12th overall in 2017.
18:36Jalen Johnson looks for his second point and has it.
18:41Well, how about those two clutch free throws last night?
18:44Yeah, he was clutch last night.
18:45And, again, we talked about it in the open, the 41 points.
18:48But I thought that the end of that overtime really showed his leadership for this Hawks team.
18:52But the Pistons will be taking their second timeout of the opening quarter.
19:234.58 to go in the first timeout Detroit.
19:26And we'll be back.
19:28Look at the scramble here.
19:29Dyson Daniels broke up the play.
19:31Then Thompson went down to get it and got the timeout call.
19:37Hawks basketball presented by Racetrack.
19:41Bob Rathbun, Brian Oliver, Matt Weiner, Tapp Turner back with you on the scene.
19:454.50 to go in this opening quarter in our Georgia Aquarium.
19:49Below the surface feature tonight.
19:52Looks like this.
19:54These are players averaging 20 and 10 in the month of November.
19:58And Jalen Johnson, one of three in the East and one of two in this game.
20:02You see what Jalen Johnson has been able to do.
20:04We talked about Jalen Dern also.
20:06Look at the numbers that he's put up in the month of November.
20:08Again, he and Cade Cunningham have been shown to be a formidable duel.
20:12A lot of their success comes from those two guys.
20:15Cunningham.
20:16This is what you talked about, Ryan, that ability to get into the paint and do something when they get there.
20:2414-12.
20:25Jaden Ivey has come into the game for the Pistons.
20:29First time we've seen Jaden this year.
20:31Back after the broken leg and the knee surgery.
20:34Here's Jalen underneath.
20:36Blocked.
20:37Stewart runs over.
20:38Cunard gets it over to Cunningham.
20:41Ivey to the wing.
20:43Long three is good by Karras LaVert.
20:46And Karras LaVert is one of those players that can come in off the pitch and give you a three-level type of score.
20:52First three for the night for the Pistons.
20:5415-14.
20:57Stewart takes the lead.
20:58Here is Dyson Daniels.
21:02Nikhil.
21:03Good from the corner.
21:04And good redirection by Nikhil Alexander-Walker.
21:07Dyson probe that paint.
21:08Called Karras LaVert slipping.
21:1017-15.
21:15Eight early for Alexander-Walker.
21:19If the Hawks can have a good night from outside the arc, Brian, I think they'll be in pretty good shape.
21:24Cunningham.
21:27Inside, Duren steps around.
21:29Jalen and scores.
21:30Jalen's got to step up a little further.
21:33He's got to step up a little further.
21:33Right outside that rim.
21:35Got to get Jalen Duren a little sooner.
21:38Underneath, Dyson Daniels rejected by Cunningham.
21:42Slapped it all the way out to midcourt.
21:44Stewart goes up and scores.
21:46What a block by Cunningham.
21:48He timed it perfectly, too.
21:51Timeout for Quinn Snyder in Atlanta.
21:52A nine-to-three piston run.
21:59Atlanta takes the timeout.
22:05Two franchises.
22:06And a Hawks fan has a fan.
22:08A Hawks fan has a fan.
22:12Bob, I normally have my fan, but it's a little cooler now that we're down.
22:15Well, you don't really need it when it's 25 outside.
22:24That crisp Michigan weather.
22:27Oh, absolutely.
22:28Hitch in the holidays.
22:29And a half-spit.
22:331917.
22:34Hawks out of the timeout.
22:35Luke Kennard inside.
22:37Onyeka's foot-pop shot is good.
22:39And great finish by Onyeka Coggin.
22:42The penetration by Luke Kennard.
22:44You realize that this Pistons team, they're going to do a really good job on the help side.
22:48Great recognition by Onyeka to finish.
22:50Onyeka's hit his first three shots.
22:51Stewart handing it over to Bias Harris.
23:00The veteran.
23:02He gives.
23:03Shot clock down to one.
23:04Ivy's runner bumps off the rim.
23:06The Pistons get it back.
23:09Ron Holland gives.
23:10Ivy misses.
23:11And Deke Preachy, who just came in.
23:14Lynn Snyder flooring his team to push.
23:16Look for something in transition.
23:21The Pistons get it back on Onyeka's three-ball off the rim.
23:34LeBert driving.
23:36Deflected.
23:37Stolen by Kennard.
23:40Luke checking his options.
23:45Mo Gay on the handoff to B.
23:48Gets it back.
23:49Goes up.
23:50Missed it.
23:50Well, it's challenged by Stewart.
23:58Under two of the first is Harris.
24:02Gets it back.
24:04LeBert.
24:08Second three for Harris LeBert.
24:10And that's one of the things I think that Harris LeBert brings for this Pistons team that wants to penetrate.
24:14The Creechie missed the three.
24:19Walks have not been able to strike after shooting well early from behind the yard.
24:23Come up in the last couple of attempts.
24:25Ivey with space against the Cogu.
24:30Ivey with space against the Cogu.
24:34Stewart holding off Mo Gay.
24:35Dyson Daniels trying to catch up with Harris.
24:36Tobias missed the shot.
24:38Daniels rebounds.
24:43Kennard.
24:45Around the rim and in for three.
24:46Nice pass ahead from Dyson Daniels.
24:49Good to see Luke Canard be able to keep going tonight.
24:55Luke Canard spent the first three seasons of his career in a Pistons uniform before heading out west to the Clippers.
25:00Dyson Daniels, 22 all LeBert, a foul on Deke Brayton.
25:13Keaton Walsh will be coming in now for the Hawks.
25:17He was clutch last night coming with two big threes for the Hawks in that second half and that win against the Sixers.
25:25He was all hands on deck last night.
25:28That's for sure.
25:29Dyson Daniels gets a breather.
25:31He's going to come in.
25:33Free throws for LeBert.
25:37Two free throws here for Harris.
25:41And that is off the front.
25:44Our Xfinity matchup for tonight.
25:46One of these great November numbers, 10 and 5 overall.
25:49And the Hawks, Brian, are five games over 500 for the season thanks to that great November.
25:56It's the first time that they have been five games over 500 five years.
26:03Bob, we talked about in the opening a lot of things that are consistent with the defense, the pace, the assist.
26:08You see the assist number 32 a game.
26:11And that's one of the things that you've seen from this Hawks team.
26:13The fact that the chemistry, and we talked about the mental toughness that they've been playing, especially on the road.
26:19And that assist number we just showed you for November, a franchise record for one mark.
26:24Canard picked up by Kogwu.
26:26Quick hook is good.
26:27Boy, oh, he's dialed in early.
26:29And he's so good with that little jump hook over his left shoulder.
26:33Doesn't give the defense enough time to time to jump.
26:35Right now, a good starter for Yekka Kogwu.
26:38Two for one opportunity here for the Piston.
26:41Ivy.
26:43Laverne.
26:45Karras gets it up.
26:48Terrible shot.
26:49Knocked out of bounds by Holland.
26:51Atlanta ball.
26:52Now they say Detroit possession.
26:55You see Clayton Snyder trying to decide on whether he wants to challenge that or not.
26:59The defense, like Keaton Wallace that last time, Terrence Levert, a little off-balance right now.
27:09CK Cunningham and Tobias Harris, we enter the game.
27:1411, the Piston jocklock.
27:18So the Hawks should be able to avoid the two for one and get that last shot of the quarter.
27:24And it comes to Stewart.
27:27Cutting in.
27:29In the middle, Stewart.
27:30Cogwa's right there.
27:32Good D by Onyeka, but Stewart is powerful.
27:35Bill puts it in.
27:36And good vision by Kate Cunningham.
27:38He called Onyeka a Cogwa right between the edges there.
27:4325-24.
27:45Luke Kennard with six, with five.
27:49Luke kicks it back.
27:51Onyeka's three is good.
27:53Great penetration by Luke Kennard.
27:56It gets Onyeka wide open.
27:58A 12-point first quarter for Onyeka Cogwu.
28:02And Atlanta takes a two-point lead at the end of one.
28:06Boy, Onyeka really shooting it well, Brian.
28:09That's the end of the first in Detroit.
28:13And the Hawks on the second of a back-to-back, taking on the number one team in the East.
28:18And lead it by two after the first.

28:50Jenkins misses.
28:52Long rebound secured by Detroit's Javante Green.
28:56Now the corner three is up and out.
28:59Oh, good luck for Ron Ollivan.
29:01And Hawks are very fortunate because they gave the Pistons two additional shots at it.
29:05Here's Keaton Wallace from the top.
29:08And the rebound to Cunningham.
29:10And Hawks ended that first quarter on eight assists on 10-8 field goal.
29:14He spoke about in Yekka Kong with his huge first quarter.
29:1812 points.
29:21Javante Green and taken away by Moge.
29:24I thought he made some sterling defensive plays last night in Philadelphia.
29:27And they carried it over to the night.
29:29I like the fact that they are very physical.
29:32And those active hands have come to play early in this first half.
29:37Deke Krejci driving.
29:38Giving.
29:39Moge going up.
29:40And that blocked by Isaiah Stewart.
29:44Cunningham's pass.
29:45That's intercepted by Luke Kennard.
29:47Quickly ahead to V.
29:49Krejci.
29:50Now to Wallace.
29:52Keep.
29:52Plays it back to Kennard.
29:56Hawks continue to move the ball.
29:58And Yekka's got the hot hand in short this time.
30:07Cunningham.
30:09Hulked away and taken away.
30:11How about the Hawks' defense in the pack right now?
30:14Forcing the Pistons into nine turnovers in the first half.
30:18Kennard.
30:19Long.
30:19One-out rebound for Jenkins.
30:21Two on two.
30:23Jenkins.
30:24Nope.
30:24Tip.
30:25Yes.
30:25And a foul on Atlanta.
30:27He did a good job of being able to play Jenkins.
30:30Keep Wallace.
30:30That last time you have to box out Holland.
30:34You can't allow him to be able to get that offensive rebound.
30:37Watch again.
30:37He does a good job.
30:38And then watch how Holland comes right behind.
30:42And Yekka Ocongo gives him a little nudge in the back for an opportunity for and one.
30:46One free throw coming for Ron Holland.
30:48First, this message from Academy Sports and Outdoors.
31:01And Yekka's first foul.
31:04And the free throw by Holland completes the three-point play.
31:0728-27.
31:12Two minutes into the second quarter.
31:18Backdoor cut.
31:19Nice lay in.
31:20What a pass by Yekka Ocongo.
31:22We realize that Luke Kennard was denied.
31:24Luke had presence of mind.
31:25Go to backdoor cut.
31:27And Yekka puts it right there where he needs threads to need it.
31:30Hawks by one.
31:30Cunningham moves in.
31:34Ducks.
31:36And here's the thing is, if you're Moget, you've got to realize is that you don't want to give
31:40Cade Cunningham runway to get past you.
31:43Force him to shoot that three.
31:45Last two-to-five game.
31:46Bam!
31:47So Yekka with a great finish at the rim.
31:50Nice down by Keaton Wallace.
31:5231-30 Atlanta.
31:53Jenkins.
32:00Duran runs over Moget.
32:03Take no call at all.
32:05Wow.
32:07It's got to be something, right?
32:1032-31 Detroit.
32:15Vee.
32:16A little bit of daylight.
32:17Hikes it up.
32:18Connects.
32:18And great recognition again by Vee.
32:21Called Cade Cunningham.
32:22Kind of snoozing there.
32:23Good recognition by Keaton Wallace to get it over to him.
32:26You've got to put pressure on Cade Cunningham and make him a defender.
32:2934-32 Hawks.
32:31Jenkins driving.
32:33Lobbing.
32:33And Duran finishing.
32:35And the penetration by Jenkins.
32:37Touch the paint.
32:39Kaelin Duran shooting 70%.
32:41He'll go and Vee goes for another one.
32:44Cunningham the rebound.
32:48Jenkins.
32:49Lays it off late.
32:51Beat reaches in to rip it away from Duran.
32:54Loose ball.
32:54Hawks have it.
32:55Mogey.
32:56Tipped.
32:57Have to get it.
32:58Keaton Wallace.
32:59Hawks have to hustle.
33:01And they beat the time.
33:03The eight-second count.
33:04Cunard.
33:04Keaton Wallace against the big.
33:11Sideline.
33:12Cunard.
33:13In and out.
33:18Under eight to go in the second.
33:19Jenkins.
33:21Corner three.
33:22That's around the ribbon in.
33:23Ron Holland.
33:24A rare three-pointer for Ron Holland.
33:28Just 26% outside of the yard.
33:30Pistons by three.
33:35Beat.
33:37Monieka had it slapped down and stolen.
33:40And Beat gets it back.
33:42Cross-court.
33:43Cunard.
33:43Here comes Mogey.
33:46And we got a foul.
33:52A foul is charged to Jalen Duran.
33:55And you've seen that from him on multiple occasions.
34:21Mogey missing the first of two.
34:27McKeel.
34:29JJ.
34:29Dyson all coming back into the game.
34:31As we're looking at Georgia lottery.
34:33Hitting the jackpot.
34:34Look at those numbers for Jalen.
34:3670 points.
34:3726 rebounds.
34:3819 assists in the last two games.
34:41And a seven for 15.
34:43Come behind the arc again.
34:45It's one of the things that's really taken another uptick for Jalen.
34:47Is his three-point shooter.
34:48Hawks haven't had a player with two-game numbers that audacious since Sharif Adur Rahim back-to-back game.
34:58And Bob is the level of efficiency that he's doing.
35:01It's not like he's taking a ton of shots every night.
35:04First puts the pair.
35:06Two-point Piston lead.
35:087.25 to go in the second.
35:10Jenkins.
35:17Tobias Harris just came back in for the short.
35:20Jalen defending.
35:23Come turn around.
35:25Rebound.
35:25Collin.
35:27Wow.
35:27He's got a difference maker here in the second quarter.
35:30And that's why this Pistons team is so good because their second unit comes out and they play with a lot of grit.
35:35It's been a lot of time crashing offensive glass.
35:38And this pass batted down by Detroit's Javante Green.
35:44We have a timeout.
35:466.56 to play.
35:48In quarter number two, Hawks basketball.
35:50When we come back to Detroit after this.
35:52Yeka Okongwu carried the offense through that first period.
35:58And Bob, here's the thing on the back-to-back.
36:00You need someone to step up, carry the load early.
36:03And it's been on Yeka Okongwu.
36:04Has come in 14 big points so far.
36:06Has mixed it up to being able to score inside, outside.
36:10Does a good job of being able to finish at the rim.
36:12Love his energy and what he's come out and provided for this Hawks team right now.
36:16Look at those amazing numbers for him on the last eight games.
36:2020 points, six rebounds.
36:22He's shooting 42 from behind the yard.
36:24And I love the fact that you see tonight he's come out with his game plan ready.
36:29It's our racetrack.
36:30Feeling up feature.
36:35Luke Kennard turns a corner.
36:38Bosh Nikhil.
36:39Jenkins defending.
36:42Nikhil gets it off.
36:43Short.
36:49Pistons have a four-point lead.
36:51Their biggest of the night.
36:52Hawks had a five-point advantage early in the first.
36:56Jalen Dorn gives.
36:57Jenkins.
36:58Half to drive.
36:59High archer bank.
37:00No.
37:01Rebound Jalen Johnson.
37:03And Jalen's fouled.
37:05A bump on the run by Jenkins.
37:06Hey, I love the fact that with Jalen Johnson.
37:09You get that rebound.
37:10He's out and running.
37:11He knows that the best thing for him to do is just to push that pace.
37:14That last time's wrong, that foul.
37:15Quinn Snyder wants to continue to lock down position.
37:18Get out and transition early.
37:20Ron Holland actually charged through the foul.
37:24So his first.
37:27Thompson coming in for Green.
37:31626 in the second.
37:36Holland's been active defensively.
37:38That's his calling card.
37:39Not known as an offensive player.
37:40Daniels has handled.
37:45Turns and hits.
37:46Dyson Daniels did a good job of being able to get down.
37:48They didn't have anything.
37:50They said that ball came loose.
37:52He was smiling.
37:53Where did he get that basket?
37:5539-37 Detroit.
37:57When two players went down, Holland and Alexander Walker.
38:05Meanwhile, Jenkins loads up a long three and misses it.
38:08Rebound underneath to Harris.
38:09That's blocked by Risa Shea and out of bounds to Atlanta.
38:13And good fight by the Atlanta Hawks down there.
38:15Again, multiple guys fighting to try to get that ball.
38:18But the Hawks had a great defensive possession.
38:20They all started by getting the ball out of Jalen Dern's hands.
38:24Daniels.
38:27Clibes.
38:32Off the window.
38:33Can't drop it in.
38:40Thompson.
38:41Good footwork by Risa Shea.
38:44Dern.
38:46Shoots.
38:48Hits.
38:48That's a good defense by Moke.
38:50Dern wanted to get to his right hand.
38:52Forced him into a tough shot.
38:54Pistons by four.
38:55JJ tried to operate.
38:57And that's going to be a blocking foul on Ron Holland.
39:06Two free throws coming.
39:09But J.B.
39:09Bickerstaff and Robert Pussy have had a running conversation about the last four trips up and down the floor.
39:17He basically told him, he was like, here we go.
39:20I mean, that was a foul.
39:21And Jalen Johnson puts a lot of pressure on defenders, especially if you allow him to get a little bit of steam.
39:27You see.
39:27And Yucca O'Connor will come back into the game.
39:31Good minutes by Moke.
39:34Jalen 0-2 from the field.
39:37Looking to go 4-4 from the stripe.
39:39And pull the Hawks within two.
39:41And a positive sign for this Hawks team, Bob.
39:44If you know Jalen makes this, you're only down two.
39:46And you know it's just a matter of time before his offense is going to kick in.
39:50That's one of the things I love about his game.
39:52Allows the game to come to him.
39:53Gets everyone else going.
39:55And it makes it a lot easier for him to click later.
39:56Duran on the duff off.
40:10Laverne smothered.
40:12Hawks take it back.
40:14JJ push ahead.
40:14Risa Shea.
40:17Alexander Walker.
40:19Dyson Daniels.
40:20Three.
40:21No good.
40:22But Yucca's right there.
40:23Goes back up and scores.
40:24And he's been cooking.
40:25Good penetration again.
40:28All of that passing around puts the pistons on their heels.
40:30And Yucca gets down and gets that offensive class.
40:33Already 16 points.
40:40Underneath Dyson there to come up the works under the basket.
40:44There's an out of bounds by Laverne.
40:47Steps on the line.
40:49That gives it back to the Hawks.
40:50And it lands got a chance to get the lead back.
40:52And nice close out by Risa Shea.
40:54Where he was able to get over there and force that turnover.
40:56The first one of that open three.
40:58Hawks have done a good job of being able to close out and lock down that thing.
41:01And that's 12 turnovers now for Detroit.
41:04They average 15 a game.
41:05They are off kilter on that.
41:09The Keel.
41:10The Keel.
41:10Nice fake.
41:11Pull it past.
41:12The Risa Shea.
41:13He needs help.
41:14And it's out of bounds with Ted to shoot.
41:16The Hawks are really active.
41:17I like the fact that that ball is moving.
41:19It's not stagnant.
41:20Doing a lot of backdoor cuts.
41:22Coming off the ball really quickly.
41:2341 aside.
41:29Keel Alexander Walker getting held on the way through.
41:32But no call.
41:33He'll shoot from the corner and miss.
41:35And the rebound to Thompson.
41:40Thompson to the corner.
41:43Cunningham to the top.
41:44And that went through the hands to Thompson out of bounds.
41:49And another turnover for the Pistons.
41:50Hawks again doing a good job of guarding one-on-one.
41:53Not getting broken down.
41:55Forcing the Pistons in right now to turn that ball over.
41:58It looks like they're 12 turnover already.
42:01Alexander Walker.
42:03Pick and roll with it.
42:04Yekka.
42:05Lob.
42:05Tipped in with the left hand on Yekka Kongwu.
42:09And that was the breakdown by Alexander Walker.
42:11Get to the basket.
42:12And Yekka Kongwu again continues his hot stretch right now.
42:16Already 18 first half points.
42:19Nice pass underneath the Thompson jam.
42:22Yeah, Thompson was able to get behind the defense.
42:24Jalen Johnson fell asleep.
42:26Trying to be able to get down there and get that pass.
42:29Tied at 43 with 315.
42:32Jalen.
42:32Nice.
42:33Dyson Daniels with the jam.
42:35Good penetration and pass over Jalen Johnson.
42:37And Dyson Daniels returns the favor.
42:39Right behind.
42:40Hawks' spacing has to be on point against this Detroit defense.
42:44And so far, so good.
42:45Levert hits a three.
42:47And he's been the one in his first half that's really been the one from behind the arc doing the damage for Detroit.
42:52Onekka feeling it.
42:55Missed this one.
42:57That did not seem to be secure in his hand when it left.
43:02Brings it to a timeout.
43:042.47 remaining.
43:06Second quarter in Detroit.
43:08The Hawks toe-to-toe with the Pistons tonight.
43:10Дайсон
43:16Wild shot by Nikhil
43:19Thompson right down the middle
43:22You gotta stop the ball
43:24If you're Dyson Daniels you can now allow
43:26Soar Thompson to be able to go ahead and get full speed
43:2948-45
43:33And we have a push
43:35On Detroit
43:40And the push will go
43:43Against
43:45Who do they call it on?
43:48Thompson
43:50Thought that may have been on Jalen
43:52Tonight
44:06Short clock as Jalen moves to the paint
44:10Dyson's able to save it
44:12Shoot it short
44:1348-45
44:16A minute 35 in the period
44:19I think
44:20Blocked from behind by Onyeka
44:22Boy he has been something in this
44:24Detroit game tonight
44:26Okoglu doing at both ends
44:27And the Hawks have done a good job of being able to lock down that pain
44:30To help on the penetration
44:31You see again Pistons trying to play bully ball
44:35Get downhill
44:38Okoglu against Stewart
44:40In the middle Daniels
44:41Connects
44:42Hey good read by Onyeka Okoglu
44:44We saw Dyson Daniels
44:45Had to defend on his top side
44:47Gets it right back to him
44:48Walks right now
44:49Got a chance to close out this half
44:5248-47 Detroit
44:54Stewart at the top
44:59Cunningham
45:04Catch and shoot
45:05Out of the corner
45:06Ivy
45:07Tap to Okoglu by
45:09Jalen Johnson
45:10Riesa Shea
45:11Going in on Cunningham
45:12And he picked his pocket clean
45:15Cutting him over the timeline
45:17Cutting him on the bounce to Stewart
45:20Missed opportunity by Zachary Riesa Shea
45:22Who turns to another two on the other end
45:24For the Hawks for their Pistons
45:2650-47
45:29Onyeka
45:30Pass
45:31Oh and slipping through
45:32Riesa Shea for the jam
45:33Zachary Riesa Shea did a good job
45:35Slipping right behind the defense
45:37The pass
45:38The easy one
45:39Hawks are down only one
45:42And a foul coming on Dyson Daniels
45:45Considered
45:46The Hawks have been wiped out on the glass
45:4831-14
45:50Zachary Riesa Shea
45:51And Jalen Johnson
45:52Have one field goal between them
45:54And that dunk by Zachary
45:56And still within just one point
45:58And what the Hawks have done
45:59If they've already got eight
46:00Eight first half steals
46:01And have turned this Pistons team over
46:0313 times, Bob
46:04And again
46:05You look at what they've done
46:06You see Dyson Daniels comes out
46:07Definitely

46:10By the first half effort
46:11From this team
46:12On the back-to-back
46:13Cunningham
46:14Stewart
46:15Back to Cade
46:16For three

46:18Hawks will sit on it here
46:19For the final shot
46:20Atlanta can take the lead at halftime
46:30Jalen going in on Harris
46:32Euros angles
46:33Misses
46:34And the horn sounds ending
46:35The first half of the Hawks
46:36And the Hawks are right there
46:37Played the Pistons even
