After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Bulls 108-88. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
