Detroit — For three quarters, the Pistons looked as if they were going to take another playoff team down to the wire, and maybe get another surprising win.
This time, they couldn’t close the deal.
All-Stars DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine lived at the free-throw line in the fourth quarter and got some clutch shots to fall in the final minutes, lifting the Chicago Bulls to a 114-108 victory on Wednesday night at Little Caesars Arena.
Cade Cunningham had 22 points, four assists and six rebounds, Saddiq Bey 12 points and six assists and Jerami Grant 12 points and three rebounds for the Pistons (18-48), who had won six of their previous eight games.
