The Bulls snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Pistons 114-108 on Wednesday night, using a late surge at the end of the game to erase a mostly listless performance. One of the major factors in Chicago’s win was the advantage on free throws, with the Bulls going 31-of-35 from the charity stripe compared to just 13-of-17 for Detroit. DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine combined to go 22-of-24 on freebies, including 8-of-9 in the fourth quarter.
This was especially notable given just how much the Bulls had been spanked at the line over the prior four games.
