The Milwaukee Bucks let the short-handed Detroit Pistons hang around in the first half but began to percolate offensively in the third, and pulled away for a 125-115 home victory to improve to 4-3 on the season.
Detroit was outmatched before the game began with Blake Griffin and Josh Jackson out, and provided little to no resistance in the painted area. Mason Plumlee was their last line of defense...that man had a rough night defensively.
It is still clear that the Milwaukee Bucks have kinks to work out on both ends of the floor and I appreciated the timeout head coach Mike Budenholzer called in the third quarter after a defensive lapse by Bobby Portis.
