After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Pistons 113-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
