After Action Report

The Bulls buried the Pistons 118-82. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls are in a full-on tailspin; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
