After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Pistons 106-83. Every possession went the Bulls way. The Bulls ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
