Pistons' coach Michael Curry believes that his team is giving up too much in the paint to opposing teams.

"We got some more work to do," Curry said after the team's 88-87 loss to the Hawks on Thursday night. "That's what we take from tonight's game."

Atlanta outscored Detroit 54-32 in the paint.

"Fifty-four points in the paint, I don't care what we're playing; that's unacceptable for how we're going to play basketball," Curry said. "That just shows that we have some more work to do."
