After Action Report

The Pistons outlasted the Bulls 121-115. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 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.
