NBA Paris: Sights and sounds from Pistons-Bulls

The Chicago Bullsdefeated theDetroit Pistons,126-108, in Paris for the NBA's second-ever regular-season game in France.

Perhaps no one was more excited than Pistons guard Killian Hayes, who grew up in France and played professional basketball for Cholet Basket.

"I think it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Hayes said, per NBA.com. "There are 30 [NBA] teams, and we're fortunate enough that they picked the Pistons to go [to France]. I'm very happy to go back home and enjoy an NBA game with my friends and family in attendance."

While Bulls-Pistons doesn't have the same vitriol as it did in the late '80s and early '90s, there was still plenty to see in the City of Lights -- includingFrench basketball phenom Victor Wembanyamabeing in attendance.

Here are some of the sights and sounds from the NBA's return to Paris:
