CHICAGO — – Jalen Duren<\/a> had 26 points and 13 rebounds in his return from a suspension to help the Detroit Pistons<\/a> take charge in the second half and roll to a 126-110 victory over the Chicago Bulls<\/a> on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Cade Cunningham<\/a> added 18 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds to narrowly miss his 15th career triple-double as the Pistons won their fifth straight game. Tobias Harris<\/a> also had 18 points and Duncan Robinson<\/a> added 17 for league-leading Detroit (42-13), which dealt Chicago its season-high eighth straight loss.<\/p>\n

Duren helped establish Detroit’s dominance after sitting out two games for his role in a fight at Charlotte on Feb. 9. He got a technical foul in this one for casually dropping the ball on the face of Chicago’s Nick Richards<\/a> in the third quarter while Richards was down on the floor.<\/p>\n

Josh Giddey<\/a> had 27 points on 10 for 16 shooting – including five 3-pointers – but the Bulls couldn’t keep pace with the Pistons after trailing only 53-50 at the half. Matas Buzelis<\/a>, Jalen Smith<\/a> and Issac Okoro each added 15 as the Bulls committed 23 turnovers leading to 28 Detroit points.<\/p>\n

Detroit outmuscled Chicago, scoring 68 points in the paint, compared to the Bulls 38. The Pistons had 26 on second chances and Chicago just 16.<\/p>\n

The Bulls played without Jaden Ivey<\/a>, who will be out two weeks with knee soreness after playing just four games with Chicago following a trade from Detroit. Anfernee Simons<\/a> left the game with a left wrist injury<\/p>\n

Bulls coach Billy Donovan was back on the bench after missing a game to attend his father’s funeral.<\/p>\n

The Pistons led by no more than six points in a tight, scrappy first half. Detroit outscored Chicago 44-26 in third quarter and opened the lead to as much as 28.<\/p>\n
