After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls survived the Pistons 105-104. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
