After Action Report
In Chicago, the Pistons pulled away from the Bulls 122-112. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
