Pistons – Bulls 108-126: Go to Paris

The game between the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons in Paris ended without any particular problems in favor of Billy Donovan’s team (126-108). With DeMar DeRozan (26 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists) and Zach LaVine (30 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists), the threads moved from the periphery, Chicago put its own “want” on its early Accor Arena and always had to do it Safety Nikola Vucevic’s action (16 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists) near the basket.

With four other players scoring double digits, things became very easy for the winners, who couldn’t lose to a team that expected the most from Bojan Bogdanovic (25 points on 9/19 shooting and 4/6 shooting).

It was evident that Detroit didn’t have the talent to claim anything more in the game, which – among other things – paid for the very low percentage it had at three-pointers (23.5%).
