After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Bulls 97-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 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.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
