After Action Report

In Detroit, the Bucks held off the Pistons 97-91. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bucks. The Bucks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Bucks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bucks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
