After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Bulls 115-113 in overtime. Pistons' offense had its way with the Bulls. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
