Detroit went on a short run of successful possessions to force a timeout from Fred Hoiberg.
The quarter ends with the Pistons scoring nine points in the last 90 seconds. The Bulls started the game out early failing to protect the perimeter as the bad guys scored on four of their six 3-point attempts.
