CHICAGO— The Detroit Pistons secured their fifth consecutive victory in a blowout 126-110 win over the Chicago Bulls Saturday night at the United Center.

Despite a lackluster first half, the Pistons rallied in the third quarter, outscoring the Bulls 44-26. The Pistons improved to 42-13 while winning their eighth game in their last nine outings.

Jalen Duren returned from his two-game suspension, leading the way with 26 points and 13 rebounds. Cade Cunningham fell short of his fourth triple-double of the season, finishing with 18 points, 13 assists, nine rebounds and three blocks. Tobias Harris contributed with 18 points, six rebounds and four steals.

The Bulls started the game on fire from behind the arc, connecting on eight of their first nine attempts. Josh Giddey led the Bulls with 27 points and six rebounds. Isaac Okoro added 15 points.

The Pistons made 13 of 29 3-pointers (45.0%), including five by Duncan Robinson and three by Cunningham.

The Bulls were without former Pistons guard Jaden Ivey, who will be out two weeks with knee soreness. Ivey went to Chicago in the three-team trade earlier this month that netted the Pistons Kevin Huerter.

Huerter did not play against his former team on Saturday night.
