After Action Report

The Pistons buried the Bulls 137-87. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
