After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls outlasted the Pistons 104-91. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in; Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
