After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Bulls 113-98. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
