After Action Report

In Detroit, the Bulls snuck past the Pistons 106-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 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.
