The Bulls could hardly buy a basket in the first quarter: They missed their first eight shots and scored 22 first-quarter points, and the offense looked out of sorts as they struggled through a rugged 33% shooting in the first quarter. The Pistons’ length and athleticism clearly affected the team.
But something changed for the Bulls in the second quarter. Chicago went on a 22-4 run over a 7:18 stretch to take control of the game in Sunday’s 119-108 win. The Bulls forced the youthful Pistons into mistakes (16 turnovers) and capitalized off them (25 points off turnovers).
