After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Bulls 128-101. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
