After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Bulls 132-101. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
