After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Bulls 114-88. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
