The Fat Lady Is Singing!
Pistons go up 3-0 after winning a nail-biter at home. Derrick Rose did everything he could to give his team a chance, but ultimately he just couldn't do it alone.
The Bulls are making a habit of starting games slow and it's killing them. They've ended the first half with only 39 points in all three games and have trailed by at least 15 points at the half in games two and three.
Judging by their second half performances, this series would be a lot closer if they didn't stumble out of the gate every game.
