"The Pistons just fell short of winning three games in a row when they lost to the Chicago Bulls, 95-92, in overtime at the Palace on Sunday night. The team, which had won back-to-back games against New Orleans and Toronto before the Christmas break, is now fighting games to the finish after surrendering big leads earlier in the season and displaying little determination. With just 2 seconds left in overtime against the Bulls and the Pistons trailing by three, Charlie Villanueva, who scored 12 points on the night, missed a 27-foot jumper.
