There was no point in Sunday’s game where I would say that the Chicago Bulls were playing well. The fact that even when playing an all-around subpar game, they were easily able to outclass the Detroit Pistons is a major red flag for Detroit. The 119-108 loss for Detroit gives them sole possession of the worst record in the NBA. I’m not sure if or when they will relinquish that title at any point this season.
Every Detroit Pistons starter played on a spectrum from inconsistent and disappointing, to disengaged to outright bad. The bench, save for new addition Kevin Knox (18 points on 7-of-8 shooting) and newly healthy Alec Burks (16 points) also played terribly.
