After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Bulls 135-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
