After Action Report

In Detroit, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Pistons 130-102. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls steamroller is in full effect right now. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
