After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Pistons 117-110. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
