After Action Report
The Bulls snuck past the Pistons 120-115. Bulls torched the Pistons on the offensive end. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Bulls; Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
