After Action Report

The Bulls pulled away from the Pistons 108-89. Bulls' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
