The Detroit Pistons (41 - 36) defeated the host Chicago Bulls (38 - 38) 94 - 90, Saturday night at United Center. Jimmy Butler's first career triple - double was not enough to salvage a win for the Chicago Bulls as they succumbed to the visiting Detroit Pistons. This was a significant game for both teams but the Bulls especially, as a win could have brought them within half a game, or even a tie for the last playoff spot. However, the Pistons did a great job to bounce back from a tough loss at home to the Mavericks on Friday, as they were relentless down the stretch to come out on top. Detroit remains in seventh place in the East, half a game ahead of Indiana and 3 games ahead of ninth place Chicago. The Bulls have six games remaining, while the Pistons have five, as the battle for the last three spots in the East remains a close one. Reggie Jackson hit four clutch free throws in the last 20 seconds to help secure the win for the Pistons. Jackson totaled 22 points (6 - 17 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 8 - 10 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal but also gave up six turnovers, in 35 minutes of action. Tobias Harris chipped in 21 points (9 - 17 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and one blocked shot, in 38 minutes; while Andre Drummond recorded his 64th double - double of the season, with 11 points and 11 rebounds, along with four assists and two steals, in 28 minutes. The Pistons shot 42 percent from the field, including 50 percent from long range en route to the win. Jimmy Butler did it all for Chicago, as he tallied 28 points (10 - 25 FG, 1 - 7 3Pt, 7 - 8 FT), 17 rebounds, 12 assists, three steals and two blocked shots, in 39 minutes. Butler's first career triple - double was not enough as only two other Bulls players scored in double digits, while the team shot 37 percent from the field. Pau Gasol added 16 points, 14 rebounds, four blocked shots and three steals, in 34 minutes, while Aaron Brooks tallied 14 points in 16 minutes off the bench. Derrick Rose (elbow) and Taj Gibson (ribs) were both absent from the contest. The Bulls will look to get right back on track as they play in Milwaukee on Sunday. The Pistons will have a few days off before they face the Heat in Miami on Tuesday.
