Good thing losing by 35 or losing by 5 is the same exact result in the end. It’s just one loss. The Bucks jumped out on the Pistons 10-2 in a flash and didn’t let up once in Game 1.
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 24 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in 23 minutes. Yes, Giannis played just 23 minutes. He’ll be fine and rested for Game 2 on Wednesday.
Andre Drummond cheap-shotted Giannis in the third quarter and was given a flagrant-2, which meant an ejection.
Luke Kennard shot 8-of-14 from the field, leading all Pistons with 21 points.
