After Action Report
The Bucks squeaked past the Pistons 118-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. The Bucks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bucks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
