The Chicago Bulls defeated the Detroit Pistons, 117-115, at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday.

The Bulls (29-34) have been slumping of late and their playoff chances are getting more and more complicated, but they escaped with a massive win over the Pistons (15-48), a result that keeps their Play-in chances alive. It was not an easy game for Chicago, however, as Detroit came quite close to securing a massive comeback in the latter stages of the contest. Chicago looked good in the early going, though, securing a 38-36 lead in the first quarter and bolstering it to a 15-point lead at the break following a 31-18 score in the second quarter. The Pistons showed signs of pulling a comeback in the second half, though, and they were particularly dominant in the final 12 minutes where they outscored the Bulls by a 29-16 score. Unfortunately for them, they didn’t have enough time to turn things around and had to settle for a loss. Chicago moved to 11-21 on the road with the win, while the Pistons fell to 8-23 at home.
