After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls buried the Pistons 135-99. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
