The Bulls Saturday without many regulars and carrying a heavy recent workload went into Detroit and predictably sputtered, falling behind by double digits in the first quarter and never recovering in a 117-95 loss.
The Bulls now get a pair of off days before heading to Houston, Miami and Orlando next week. The Bulls close with five of their last nine games on the road before he last game of their season April 11 in the United Center against these Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons raised their record to 33-40 with their second win over the Bulls this month.
