After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Pistons 145-99. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
