The Chicago Bulls defeated the Detroit Pistons, 103-81, at United Center on Sunday afternoon.

The Bulls (40-42) ended the regular season with a losing record, but they ended the campaign on a high note after topping the Pistons (17-65) with a dominant performance. Chicago grabbed control of the game early and won the first quarter by 26-25. The Bulls extended their lead following a 23-21 score in the second quarter, but they were not dominating as much as they would’ve imagined. The third quarter ended with an 18-18 score, so Chicago still held a meager three-point lead with just 12 minutes left in the contest. The Bulls pulled away for good in the final 12 minutes and outscored Detroit by a 36-17 tally, ultimately securing a comfortable win that didn’t really reflect what happened throughout the game. The Bulls end the season with a 22-19 mark at home and will play in the Play-In Tournament next week. Meanwhile, the Pistons end the season with an 8-33 record on the road.
