For two teams that are headed in very different directions, the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls are on the outside looking in.
A total of 6.5 games separate Detroit from Chicago. Tell that to somebody a month ago, and they’d surely laugh in your face.
But that’s where the Pistons currently stand. They’ll have a chance to distance themselves when they host the Bulls on Friday night at Little Caesars Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 pm on Fox Sports Detroit.
Both clubs have struggled since the All-Star break. Detroit is 1-7 and has lost four in a row.
