After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Bulls 123-111. Pistons' offense had its way with the Bulls. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
