FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Tuesday night’s 102-91 win over the Chicago Bulls
SLAM DUNK – That was a game the Pistons could not afford to lose. Not against a division rival, and a team ahead of them in the standings, playing its fourth game in five nights. And so they didn’t. But it took a lot more than it appeared it might. After a superb first 20 minutes – after which the Pistons led by 17 – an offense that had racked up 18 assists in those 20 minutes and was shooting in the mid to high 50s for most of the half went stagnant and cold.
