The Chicago Bulls opened up their regular season on Wednesday with a hard-fought, low-scoring victory against the Detroit Pistons.
The defense played by the Bulls was impressive as they got stops at the right time of the game down the stretch to clinch the victory, along with several clutch free throws from Zach LaVine.
LaVine led the way for the Bulls with 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists on 11-of-17 shooting.
The Bulls will be without guard Coby White, who is still rehabbing his shoulder. The Pelicans will be missing Zion Williamson, who continues to rehab his foot injury from the offseason.
