After Action Report
The Bulls held off the Pistons 92-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
