At one point, though, the United Center crowd was loud as fans stood on their feet with excitement. Nikola Vučević had just hit a floater to bring the Bulls within 43 points and stopped the bleeding on a 23-0 Pistons run. To make matters worse for Chicago, two minutes remained in the first half.

Amid a blowout victory against the Chicago Bulls, the Detroit Pistons put together their most dominating performance of the season.

Malik Beasley recorded a team-high 24 points and hit his 212th 3-pointer of the season, breaking a franchise record previously set by Saddiq Bey in 2022. Beasley accomplished that feat with 28 games still to play and held a raucous on-court celebration when he hit the record-breaking shot in the fourth quarter.
