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.
