After Action Report
In Chicago, the Pistons survived the Bulls 112-107. Pistons torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
