After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls outlasted the Pistons 99-93. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
