After Action Report

The Bulls rolled past the Pistons 128-82. Bulls torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
