FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Friday night’s 107-103 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at BMO Harris Bradley Center
1-NOW THEY COUNT FOR REAL – With Stanley Johnson being held out – over his objections – due to tightness in his back, the Pistons wrapped up their preseason (2-3 record) with their odds-on favored starting five having not played one second as a unit. Avery Bradley returned after missing two games and showed what his impact can be on both ends. Bradley (11 of 17) led the Pistons with 26 points in 30 minutes, hitting mid-range shots, taking the ball to the basket, picking up a few easy baskets with back-door cuts and draining both of his 3-point attempts.
