Yikes, this is one where I have it taped but don't even really want to watch. Rose and Rip were still out, and the Pistons were missing a couple of weapons of their own with Stuckey and Gordon not playing. And I guess that's how you get a 83-71 score. Having a defense able to hold teams to 71 points helps you get that score too.

Even the recent streak of 3-point shooting wasn't there for the Bulls, as they were 2-12 from that range.

The Bulls have now beaten the Pistons approximately 47 times in a row. Seems so long ago when I was depressed at how easily Tayshaun Prince dominated Luol Deng in the playoffs.
