DETROIT — Bulls coach Billy Donovan was fed up.
His team had just given up a wide-open dunk to center Isaiah Stewart in the fourth quarter because of poor defensive rotations, so Donovan called a timeout and walked onto the court, gesturing towards his players with his palms toward the roof of Little Caesars Arena, trying to understand how a miscue could happen at such a pivotal point in the game.
Both the Bulls and Pistons were undermanned in Wednesday’s game. The Pistons were down All-Star Cade Cunningham and rising center Jalen Duren, while the Bulls were without Coby White and Josh Giddey.
