After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls squeaked past the Pistons 114-112. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
