After Action Report

In Detroit, the Bulls snuck past the Pistons 105-100. Every possession went the Bulls way. Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
