After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bucks fended off the Pistons 118-109. The breakneck pace played right into Bucks' hands. The Bucks couldn't shake the cold spell; Bucks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
