	Pistons Roll Past Bulls Behind Impressive Bench Production Dusty Schoenherr - Sports Tell Us Detroit News DETROIT - In a remarkable display of depth and resilience, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Chicago Bulls 124-113, extending their winning streak to eight games. The victory was made all the more impressive by the absence of several key rotation players. Facing major injury concerns coming into the contest, the Pistons took control from the opening tip. Detroit led by 16 at halftime and pushed their advantage to 23 points with two and a half minutes left in the third quarter. The Bulls mounted a spirited fourth-quarter comeback, putting pressure on Detroit's thin roster. Chicago went on a 21-2 run in the fourth quarter to cut the Pistons' lead to one, but back-to-back plays—a Paul Reed and-one followed by a Ron Holland transition dunk—stopped the momentum. The standout performance came from reserve forward Paul Reed, who delivered a career-best game. Reed finished with 28 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, four steals, and a block in 31 minutes, shooting 11-for-13 from the field. Sixth man Duncan Robinson also shined, connecting on seven of his ten three-pointers for 23 points on an efficient night. The Pistons, now 10-2 on the season, sit alone atop the Eastern Conference as the first team to reach double-digit wins.
