After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Pistons 93-85. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
