Worst Loss of the Year, A Brutally Honest Billy, A Different Kevin Huerter, and Other Bulls Bullets

Ah, the bad old days. Last night’s ugly 124-113 loss to the Detroit Pistons felt a lot like the Chicago Bulls of the past few years. Handed an opportunity to snap a losing streak against a heavily depleted opponent, they played easily their worst game of the 2025-26 season. After narrowly taking down the San Antonio Spurs with the same lineup, they played down to the makeshift Pistons rotation and faced a double-digit deficit for essentially the entire game. No Cade Cunningham or Jal...
