The Pistons buried the Bulls 118-91. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
