After Action Report
The Bucks snuck past the Pistons 104-100. The breakneck pace played right into Bucks' hands. The Bucks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Bucks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bucks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
