Paul Reed had 28 points and 13 rebounds and the undermanned Detroit Pistons won their eighth straight game, beating the Chicago Bulls 124-113 on Wednesday night. <\/p>\n
The Pistons improved to 10-2 despite missing their entire usual starting lineup of Cade Cunningham (hip), Jalen Duren (ankle), Tobias Harris (ankle), Ausar Thompson (ankle) and Jaden Ivey (knee) and two key reserves.<\/p>\n
Duncan Robinson scored 23 points before fouling out, and Daniss Jenkins added 18 points and a career-high 12 assists.<\/p>\n
Matas Buzelis had 21 points and 14 rebounds for Chicago, and Kevin Huerter added 20 points. The Bulls have lost four straight after a 6-1 start.<\/p>\n
Down 16 after three quarters, but the Bulls scored the first 11 points of the fourth to get to 95-90. Chicago cut it to 97-96, but Reed’s three-point play and Ron Holland II’s dunk put Detroit up by six with 8:02 left.<\/p>\n
Robinson has started all 12 games because of Ivey’s preseason knee surgery. He had 17 points in the first half, and Jenkins, making his first NBA start, had 16. <\/p>\n
The Pistons shot 60.5% from the floor in the first half, including 52.9% on 3-pointers, on their way to a season-high 68 points. <\/p>\n
Bulls: At Utah on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Pistons: Host Philadelphia on Friday night.<\/p>\n
