Bulls nearly blow 21-point lead but survive against Pistons

DETROIT — The Bulls owe Pistons rookie Jaden Ivey a thank-you card. 

Just when it looked like the Bulls were looking at back-to-back losses and their sixth blown lead of 16 points or more, Ivey threw them a lifeline. On an inbounds play with 9.1 seconds to go, Ivey called a timeout that his team didn’t have. He was assessed a technical foul, sending Zach LaVine to the free-throw line. The mental error allowed the Bulls to escape with a 117-115 win Wednesday.
