The Pistons fended off the Bulls 108-102. Pistons' offense had its way with the Bulls. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
