The visiting Detroit Pistons faced off against the number 8 seeded Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.  It wasn’t a very exciting game due to all of the star players out due to injuries.  It was pretty close throughout the night but the Bulls pulled ahead by double digits in the fourth quarter and never wavered from then on.  The final score was 99-91 with Chicago taking the win, and they are now only 1 game behind Detroit for the 7th seed spot.

The top three scorers for the Bulls were Kirk Hinrich with 24 points, Ben Gordon with 19 points and Tyrus Thomas with 18 points.  The level of team play exhibited by the Bulls was fantastic as all of the starters ended up in double figures.  The only other player that scored was Brad Miller who contributed 7 points off the bench.  Chicago improves their record on the season to 34 wins and 38 losses.
