The Bulls managed to put up a fight through effective paint scoring and free throw accuracy (90 percent), showcasing resilience despite facing a formidable opponent. However, their struggle from beyond the arc (22 percent three-point shooting) contrasted sharply with Detroit’s more balanced attack.
