Chicago Bulls at Detroit Pistons
· National Basketball Association
Cade Cunningham's 22 points and 15 assists lead Pistons over Bulls 127-119
The Pistons overcame a triple-double from Nikola Vucevic, who finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
Cunningham, named to his first All-Star team earlier this week, didn't have his best shooting night, going 10 for 23 from the floor and 2 for 6 on 3-pointers, but created easy baskets for his teammates all game.
Jalen Duren added 21 points and 13 rebounds for Detroit, while sixth-man Malik Beasley scored 19. The Pistons finished with seven players in double figures.
Coby White led Chicago with 22 points, while Josh Giddey added 20 points and 11 rebounds.
A 3-pointer by Vucevic pulled the Bulls within 111-104 with 6:13 to play, but Chicago couldn't string together enough stops to make a serious run. Cunningham set up dunks for Ausar Thompson and Duren followed by Tim Hardaway Jr. and Beasley hitting 3-pointers.
Pistons: Isaiah Stewart returned for the Pistons after serving a one-game suspension in Thursday's win over the Dallas Mavericks.
