The Detroit Pistons improved to a 29-26 record, good for sixth in the Eastern Conference, following their 128-110 win over the Chicago Bulls last night. This was their second win for the second straight night against Chicago after beating them 132-92 last Tuesday.

After a tied first quarter (32-32), the Detroit Pistons won the next three quarters to secure the road win. It was a balanced effort for JB Bickerstaff’s side, as six players notched double-digit points.

First-time NBA All-Star Cade Cunningham led with 29 points, five rebounds, and seven assists on 9-for-19 from the field and 9-for-10 from the free throw line. Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren, Malik Beasley , and Isaiah Stewart added 19, 19, 16, 14, and 12 points.
