You don’t need to look very far into the history of either of these central division foes to see why they share one of the great rivalries the NBA has ever seen. It was just last season the Pistons and Bulls went at it in a four overtime thriller. Detroit coming out on top after some late Reggie Jackson’s heroics.
The rivalry dates all the way back to the late 1980s where the great Detroit bad boys battled with some young kid by the name of Michael Jordan, you may have heard of him. The fire still looms in these clubs when they come up against one another year in and year out.
