The Detroit Pistons defeated the Chicago Bulls 124–113 on November 12 at Little Caesars Arena, with P. Reed leading Detroit's offense on 28 points and D. Robinson adding 23 in a balanced scoring attack. The Pistons shot 55.6 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers while controlling the game's tempo with 30 assists against 18 turnovers. Chicago's M. Buzelis (21 points) and K. Huerter (20 points) kept the Bulls competitive, but Detroit's defensive discipline proved decisive—the Pistons held a 119.2 offensive rating to Chicago's 105.3, while their 105.3 defensive rating stifled the visiting offense. Detroit's strong second quarter (33 points) and closing frame (29 points) established separation, while Chicago's late-game surge in the fourth quarter (34 points) came too late to overcome an 11-point deficit. Both teams grabbed 44 rebounds, though Detroit's 13 steals disrupted Chicago's rhythm and forced 21 turnovers. The victory solidifies Detroit's home-court advantage and suggests the Pistons' balanced scoring depth could sustain their early-season momentum.
