Last night's game was more of a typical win, this time a 99-83 one against division rival, Detroit. The Bulls lead for all of the game, though not a blowout like the Memphis opener. And they didn't sleep for the whole game like with Atlanta. The scoring was spread with 5 players in double figures. Rose had a double-double with 17 pts and 10 asts. Noah also posted one in one of his more effective games. Hamilton played xx min in a game he probably didn't want to miss... 1st one in Detroit without a Pistons uniform. He did well even with reduced minutes.

One noticeable thing about the game is that the Palace of Auburn Hills, which used to be one of the top 5 in attendance was empty and quiet. There was a good percentage of Bulls fans present too. It's amazing what could happen after a few bad years. Even more amazing that this effect hasn't happened with Bulls fans!
