After a most Pistons-like win earlier in the week, the Pistons followed up with one even more on brand without Cade Cunningham, the entire starting 5 and a chunk of their bench.

"What's brewing in that locker room is special."

“These are games I do enjoy. When a lot of people say you can’t, the challenge of accepting that is always fun.”
J.B. Bickerstaff wouldn’t choose to coach another game with Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris in street clothes at his side, but he also had a confession after the Pistons one-upped Monda...

FINAL: Pistons 124, Bulls 113

Pistons saw 23-point lead cut to 1 in 4Q but didn't buckle.

Paul Reed: 28 points (11 of 13, 2 of 2 from 3), 12 boards, 6 assists, 4 steals and a block. Duncan Robinson 23, Daniss Jenkins 18 & 12 assists, Caris LeVert 17 & 5 assists.

8 straight Ws.

A 27-5 Chicago run pulled the Bulls within a point. The Pistons have answered with a 14-6 run to lead 111-102 with 4:33 to go.
November 13, 2025 at 2:14 AM
END 3Q: Pistons 95, Bulls 79

Bulls cut a 16-point halftime deficit to 8, Pistons pushed it back to 23, Bulls close 10-3 to get us right back where we started.
November 13, 2025 at 1:49 AM
Paul Reed and Tolu Smith at center combined for 14 points on 5 of 6 shooting (Reed 2 of 2 from 3), 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal in the first half
November 13, 2025 at 1:14 AM
HALF: Pistons 68, Bulls 52

Well, that was something. Without Cunningham, Duren, Harris, Ivey, Stewart, Thompson and Sasser, the Pistons have yet to trail

Daniss Jenkins 16/3/7
Duncan Robinson 17, 5 of 7 from 3
November 13, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Bold prediction: Daniss Jenkins and Tolu Smith will not be on 2-way contracts next season
November 13, 2025 at 12:55 AM
END 1Q: Pistons 35, Bulls 23

Pistons are 7 of 12 from 3, Duncan Robinson 4 of 6 for 12 points. Pistons a 16-11 rebound edge. Great start for a severely undermanned team. Challenge will be how guys used to playing smaller minutes respond to major roles.
November 13, 2025 at 12:37 AM
Bulls with the first timeout at 8:50 and Pistons leading 13-4. If you're keeping score, the draft status of the Pistons starting lineup:

Ron Holland IV, No. 5 pick
Paul Reed, No. 58 pick
Javonte Green, undrafted
Duncan Robinson, undrafted
Daniss Jenkins, undrafted
November 13, 2025 at 12:16 AM
Add Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren to the injury report as out. Pistons without those 2, plus Stewart, Harris, Sasser, Thompson and Ivey.

If anyone ever asks what "Pistons Basketball" is all about, cue about Monday's bonkers win for them.

We had plenty of times we could’ve given it up and just got ready for Wednesday, but that’s not the nature of this group.”
Pistons 7th straight win a culture-defining gem – ‘It’s top to bottom’
If anyone who knows only a little about basketball and almost nothing about the Pistons ever asks, “Hey, what’s this ‘Pistons Basketball’ stuff all about, anyway?”

Felt like 5OT, but it was in fact, just OT
FINAL: Pistons 137, Wizards 135 2OT

Cade Cunningham 46/12/11 and 5 steals
Daniss Jenkins 24/8/3 and 4 steals

Down 6 rotation players, back to back, 3rd in 4 nights ... gutty win, no matter the opponent

Pistons 9-2, 7 straight wins

Cade Cunningham threw a no-look out-of-bounds pass to Dannis Jenkins in the corner. The assist gives him a 42-point triple-double.

As Jack Buck might say, "I don't believe what I just saw."

Cade Cunningham up on his feet but clearly feeling the tremendous blow he just took on an attempted dunk. He got clobbered by Cam Whitmore. Play being reviewed, but J.B. Bickerstaff picked up a T.
November 11, 2025 at 2:22 AM
END 3Q: Wizards 96, Pistons 87

A very rough quarter for a very tired team playing its 3rd in 4 nights, a back to back, with 6 rotational players missing. Cade Cunningham, who played 41 minutes last night, has 27/8/6 but is 10 of 35 - that's already a career high in FGAs
November 11, 2025 at 1:57 AM
Pistons open 2H 0 of 4 from 3 and now are 4 of 19 for the game. Wizards tie it at 69 and Bickerstaff calls timeout at 9:17
November 11, 2025 at 1:34 AM
HALF: Pistons 67, Wizards 61

Cade Cunningham 21 (8 of 23 shooting), 7 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals after 41 minutes last night.
November 11, 2025 at 1:16 AM
When Washington isn't turning it over, the Wizards are shooting 59 percent and 64 from 3. But 11 turnovers in 19 minutes has allowed the Pistons a 54-52 lead with 4:49 left 2Q.
November 11, 2025 at 1:02 AM
END 1Q: Wizards 37, Pistons 36

Pistons bench consists of 4 non-rotation players under normal circumstances - Jenkins, Lanier, Klintman, Reed - and has accounted for half of the 36 points.
November 11, 2025 at 12:41 AM
Cade Cunningham has been more conscious of looking for his own offense tonight with the Pistons shorthanded. He's taken 7 shots in less than 7 minutes. Pistons with a 20-19 lead at 5:20.
November 11, 2025 at 12:29 AM
Ron Holland II picking up 2 fouls in less than 5 minutes on a night the Pistons are down 6 players is suboptimal. Chaz Lanier off the bench at 7:35.
November 11, 2025 at 12:25 AM
All 3 2-way players - Tolu Smith, Daniss Jenkins and newly signed Wendell Moore Jr. - are in uniform for the Pistons, who have 12 available players with the 6 players (Stewart, Harris, Ivey, Sasser, Thompson, LeVert) out.
November 10, 2025 at 11:51 PM
Pistons will be severely shorthanded tonight with Ausar Thompson and Caris LeVert added to the list of missing players on top of Tobias Harris, Isaiah Stewart, Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser.

Javonte Green and Ron Holland II start along with Duren, Cunningham and Robinson.
