The Chicago Bulls fell to 17–20 on the season after a 108–93 loss to the Eastern Conference-leading, albeit shorthanded, Detroit Pistons. Detroit was without starters Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, and Tobias Harris, yet still received strong contributions from its reserves. Daniss Jenkins scored just two points but dished out 15 assists, while Isaiah Stewart dominated with 31 points on 14-of-17 shooting.
Chicago was without Josh Giddey and Coby White against Detroit, but still had three players score 20 or more. Matas Buzelis and Nikola Vuu010deviu0107 finished with 20 apiece, while super-reserve Ayo Dosunmu led the team with 24 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc.
