After Action Report
The Bulls buried the Pistons 134-114. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
