After Action Report

The Pistons rolled past the Bulls 123-65. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
