The Bulls could hardly buy a basket in the first quarter: They missed their first eight shots, scored 22 points and shot 33% from the field. The Pistons’ length and athleticism clearly were disrupting the offense.
But something changed in the second quarter Sunday. The Bulls went on a 22-4 run over a 7:18 stretch to wrest control in their 119-108 victory. They forced the youthful Pistons into mistakes (16 turnovers for the game) and capitalized off them (25 points off the turnovers). The Bulls outscored Detroit 33-19 in the second quarter.
