After Action Report
The Bulls snuck past the Pistons 98-95. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
