After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Bulls 121-101. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
