After Action Report
The Bulls held off the Pistons 96-88. Every possession went the Bulls way. The Bulls are in a full-on tailspin; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
