That it seems far away when the duels between the pistons and the Bulls were fierce battles, among the most intense in history … Tonight, at the United Center, the CADNNINGHAM CADEQUIE COEQUIES signed a historic victory: + 40 with their lifelong enemies!
In fact, there was no suspense, as the pistons were three levels above the Bulls. First in defense, and from the start with aggressiveness and mobility to force the Bulls to take complicated shots. On the other side of the field, Cade Cunningham sends Ausar Thompson to the circle, and there are already 10 points ahead (16-6). The Cunningham festival will last throughout the quarter and the pistons lead 16 points after 12 minutes.
The continuation will turn to correction since the pistons will squarely sign a… 21 – 0! It is the unfortunate Nikola Vucevic who will stop the hemorrhage, but the public of the United Center Chambre his players … because on the display board, it's a real butcher's shop: 71-29 at the break !!! It is the widest advance at halftime in the history of pistons. Another franchise record, this time, on the Chicago side: Coby White's partners missed their first 20-point shots. Another stat: at the break, the Pistons bench has scored more points than the entire Chicago team reunited …
The rest will be of the same ilk with Beasley who will go and get a franchise record, to the delight of his teammates. JB Bickerstaff obviously emptied his bench and Marcus Sasser took over Beasley to explode the defense with 3-point, while Lindy Waters III competed in her first minutes in his new colors. On arrival, it gives 132-92, and the two teams meet this evening, the same place!
What to remember
Malik Beasley in history books. In the 3rd quarter, the piston shooter planted his 212nd 3-point of the season, and it is already a franchise record. He erases Saddiq Bey tablets.
A record first half. With 42 points ahead of the break, the pistons set a new franchise record. The former dated from 1969, and it was already in front of the Bulls with 34 points ahead.
Detroit on the right track. For the first time in 16 years, the pistons will approach the all-star Game cut with a positive assessment! Bickerstaff players are securely hung on 6th place in the Eastern Conference, with three victories in advance on the Heat.
