After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Pistons 124-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
