After Action Report

The Bulls blew the doors off the Pistons 134-105. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
