It feels like it’s been 16 years since the Detroit Pistons last beat the Milwaukee Bucks.
For Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co., beating the Pistons has looked as easy as pie over the past four seasons. The Bucks have throttled them in the regular season. They’ve done it in the postseason.
Basically, when Milwaukee and Detroit meet, chalk it up as an L.
But with much of its roster back after a weeklong stay in the NBA’s health and safety protocols on Monday, the Pistons looked... good. They played the Bucks tough. They made the open look and the toughies.
