After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Bulls 111-94. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
