After Action Report
The Bucks fended off the Pistons 90-82. Ugly basketball, but the Bucks did just enough. Bucks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
