AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -Ben Gordon scored 28 points and the hot-shooting Chicago Bulls beat the Detroit Pistons 108-92 Tuesday night in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, pulling to 3-2 in the series. Game 6 is Thursday night in Chicago and if Game 7 is necessary, it would be Monday night back on the Pistons' home court. The Bulls started the game Tuesday night with a sense of urgency and didn't let up in a game they never trailed. They made 72.2 percent of their shots in the first half - falling just short of an NBA record - but only led by eight at halftime. Luol Deng scored 20, Kirk Hinrich had 17 and P.J. Brown scored a playoff-high 15. Chauncey Billups scored 17, Richard Hamilton had 16 points and Rasheed Wallace added 15, but the trio combined to shoot just 16-of-42. |
