After Action Report
The Bulls rolled past the Pistons 121-89. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
