The Milwaukee Bucks could’ve easily rested their starters in this back-to-back, but I guess they decided to play it out and play it out they did, putting a 131-101 thumping on their division opponents the Detroit Pistons.
The Detroit Pistons posted as cold a quarter as you’ll find in the modern NBA to kick things off, while the Bucks found their way to a 30-8 advantage following the first. Rodney McGruder was the highlight of the second period as he almost single handedly brought the Pistons back into the game, but alas, the Bucks took the jab and provided a fitting counterpunch as they led 56-38 by halftime.
