Wed Feb 05 02:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Pistons Top Bulls Despite Vucevic’s Triple-Double, Cunningham Leads the Charge
**Detroit, MI** – Cade Cunningham fueled the Detroit Pistons to a 127-119 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, showcasing his All-Star caliber play with 22 points and a game-high 15 assists. Cunningham’s performance came despite a less-than-stellar shooting night (10-of-23 from the field), highlighting his ability to facilitate for his teammates.
The Bulls’ Nikola Vucevic put up a triple-double of his own (20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists), but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Pistons’ balanced attack. Jalen Duren contributed 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Malik Beasley added 19 off the bench. Seven Pistons players finished in double figures.
Coby White led the Bulls with 22 points, and Josh Giddey chipped in 20 points and 11 rebounds. However, a key 34-19 second-quarter surge by Detroit, fueled by strong shooting (51.9% from the field), proved decisive. While the Bulls mounted a late comeback attempt, key plays by Cunningham and timely three-pointers from Detroit sealed the win.
The Pistons’ victory came despite the absence of Zach LaVine for the Bulls (missing his third straight game due to personal reasons) and the return of Isaiah Stewart for Detroit after a one-game suspension. The Pistons host the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, while the Bulls face the Miami Heat on Tuesday.
