FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Wednesday night’s 110-87 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Little Caesars Arena
1-SUFFOCATING D – The Pistons didn’t exactly awaken from their offensive slumber to pummel Milwaukee. They pummeled the Bucks because they pummeled them. The rebounding numbers: Pistons 57, Bucks 34. The Pistons shot less than 40 percent in the first half and still led by nine because they had 15 offensive rebounds and 16 more shot attempts. They shot 44 percent for the game, but their defense suffocated Milwaukee over the final three quarters as the Bucks shot 38 percent for the game after shooting 62 percent in the first quarter.
