Luol Deng led all scorers with 27 points on 11/17 shooting, adding 6 rebounds and 5 assists in his 41 minutes of floor time, while Taj Gibson scored a career-high 23 on 11/13 from the field in just 27 minutes. Rookie Tony Snell made his second consecutive start with Jimmy Butler injured and tallied 13 points on 5/9 from the field, including 3/5 from downtown.

For the Pistons, Rodney Stuckey scored 25 points off the bench, but was held scoreless over his final 5 minutes of floor time as the Bulls went on a 19-0 run over 6 minutes in the fourth quarter to ice the game.

The Bulls have two days off before traveling to Ohio to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
