After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Pistons fended off the Bucks 95-87. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
