Detroit — Sometimes, the numbers don’t tell the whole story.
Sometimes, they tell conflicting stories. For Blake Griffin, one story was his triple-double. The other story was his fourth double: 10 turnovers.
That stat was more telling in why the Pistons dropped a 107-104 loss — their seventh in the last eight games — to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena.
The good: Griffin finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for his first triple-double of the season and second with the Pistons (14-14).
The bad: The 10 turnovers contributed to the Bucks getting in transition and benefiting with easy baskets, including 64 points in the paint.
