After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Bucks 104-86. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Bucks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Bucks locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
