After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Bulls 112-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
