Bulls 101, Pistons 96

Detroit domination: This game was closer than it probably should have been, but the Bulls won their 11 straight game against the Pistons and swept the season series for the second straight year. Derrick Rose scored 27 points and Carlos Boozer added 22.

Lead gets wider: Boston lost in Atlanta on Friday, which puts the Bulls three games up in the loss column over both Miami and the Celtics for the Eastern Conference lead. San Antonio dropped its sixth straight game in Houston, leaving the Spurs just one loss ahead of the Bulls and Lakers for the NBA’s best record.

The Worm turns: Most of the Bad Boy Pistons returned to honor Dennis Rodman, who had his No. 10 jersey retired at halftime. Detroit rookie Greg Monroe is still wearing No. 10, however.
