ATLANTA - It was the offense that doomed the Pistons in game one of the 2015-16 season, as they lost to the Atlanta Hawks 100-93. Detroit went 1-7 from behind the 3 point line and turned the ball over 15 times, 8 of those belonging to Isaiah Thomas. Thomas had a very good defensive game, with 5 steals, but he only shot 8-21 from the field and turned the ball over 8 teams. Still, though, he led the Pistons in scoring and assists, with 19 and 10 respectively. Only 13 points from the bench (all of which from Richard Hamilton and Andre Drummond) also didn't help. The Pistons' bench was outscored 48-13, with Bob Pettet and Lou Hudson providing 34 of those points for the Hawks. The defense was solid for the Pistons, but if they want to have success this season, they need to be more efficient on offense.
