Oct. 31--Shortly after Derrick Rose's wayward shot glanced harmlessly off the backboard and the regulation buzzer sounded, Fred Hoiberg pointed to the corner for a third time.
Hoiberg had wanted Rose to drive. Rose, who had had fourth-quarter success getting to the rim after an 0-for-6 start, settled for a stepback jumper.
And the Bulls' education continues.
Rose's airball at the regulation buzzer led to overtime, where the Pistons ran away and hid for a 98-94 victory. That prevented the Bulls from starting 3-0 for the first time since 1996-97 and underscored the growing pains this offense is experiencing.
Marcus Morris' 26 points led the Pistons, who also got 22 points from Reggie Jackson and 20 points and 20 rebounds from Andre Drummond. It's Drummond's fourth 20-plus rebound game in his last six meetings with the Bulls.
Jimmy Butler's 23 points and 11 rebounds led the Bulls, who shot 40.5 percent with more turnovers (20) than assists (18). Nikola Mirotic added 22 points and Pau Gasol added his first double-double after leading the NBA in that category last season.
But Rose, who didn't score until midway through the fourth quarter, shot 4-for-13 with five turnovers.
