Josh Smith also scored 23 points and Jeff Teague recorded 20 for the Hawks, who have won four straight road games. Kyle Korver went 5-for-7 from 3-point range to account for all of his 15 points.
Rodney Stuckey led Detroit with 22 points. Jonas Jerebko came off the bench to score a season-high 21 as the shorthanded Pistons dropped their third straight game.
It was a three-point Hawks' lead midway through the second when Teague scored six points to fuel an 11-2 run and help Atlanta take a 61-51 advantage into the break. Korver's 3-pointer with 4:56 left in the third ignited a 10-0 burst that left the Hawks with a commanding 86-60 lead.
The Pistons, who never got closer in the fourth than the final margin, played without point guards Will Bynum (suspension) and Brandon Knight (knee). Detroit had six fewer assists (31-25) and three more turnovers (17-14) than Atlanta.
