During the Atlanta Hawks’ 104-98 loss to the Detroit Pistons Wednesday, Malcolm Delaney worked both ends of the floor when he recorded a steal and scored off it in the third quarter.

Off a bad pass by Pistons’ Blake Griffin, Delaney stole the ball and drove it down the floor to make a driving layup and cut the Pistons lead, 62-39.

A second-year player out of Virginia Tech, Delaney recorded 11 points, seven assists and three steals in Wednesday’s loss.
