Detroit Pistons shatter franchise record with a 42-point halftime lead en route to a 132-92 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Malik Beasley leads the charge with 24 points and seven three-pointers. The Bulls struggle mightily, setting a team record for missed three-pointers at 20 before finally connecting.
Malik Beasley erupted for 24 points, sinking seven three-pointers, leading the Detroit Pistons to a resounding 132-92 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. The Pistons set a franchise record with a 42-point halftime lead, dismantling the Bulls with a dominant 71-29 first-half performance. This eclipsed their previous record of 34 points against Chicago, set back on March 23, 1969.
Beasley etched his name in Detroit history by surpassing Saddiq Bey's previous record of 211 three-pointers in a season, now standing at 212 after connecting on 7 of 10 attempts. Cade Cunningham added a stellar performance with 20 points, seven assists, and six rebounds, contributing significantly to the Pistons' third consecutive win. Tobias Harris chipped in 18 points, and Ausar Thompson finished with 16, rounding out the Pistons' offensive firepower. The Bulls, on the other hand, set a disheartening team record by missing their first 20 three-point attempts before Ayo Dosunmu finally broke the streak near the end of the second quarter. They struggled throughout the game, shooting a dismal 10 of 47 from beyond the arc and a paltry 35% overall. The Bulls' offensive woes were so evident that Nikola Vucevic even mimicked celebration after making a hook shot late in the first half, a moment that drew cheers from the crowd. Chicago only managed to have two players reach double figures in scoring: Matas Buzelis (12 points) and Josh Giddey (11). Coby White had a season-low five points, shooting a dismal 2 of 13 from the field and missing all eight of his three-point attempts.
