After Action Report
The Bulls rolled past the Pistons 118-94. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
