Game Recap:
In a game that took not one, not two, but three overtimes to decide the Bulls were able to hit two different buzzer beaters, the first from Etwan Moore at regulation, the second from Tony Snell in the 2nd overtime to push the game forward. In the end Jimmy Butler was able to dominate the game in overtime with Derrick Rose fouling out of the game late in the fourth quarter attempting to extend the game.
The Pistons missed some clutch free throws at the end of the game and really hurt for an inside presence when Andre Drummond fouled out of the game.
