After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Bucks 101-96. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bucks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
