After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Pistons 109-108. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
