DETROIT – The Pistons aren’t ready to call themselves a playoff team, but the Bulls have no such qualms.
“I mean, that’s a playoff team,” Bulls newcomer Otto Porter, who logged 31 playoff games over four postseasons with Washington, said after the Pistons 131-108 Sunday matinee win, their second over Chicago in less than 48 hours. “Playoff teams, they’re locked in. They’re together as one – the starters and the bench. Everybody comes in and plays their role and does their job for the sake of the team and for the sake of winning. We’ve got to learn from that, how they control the game.
