You can finally cross “Ugly Central Division loss with Giannis” off your dusty bingo cards folks, for the Milwaukee Bucks fell prey to a hungry Detroit Pistons team, 115-106 at Fiserv Monday evening. Detroit hung tough for the first, with the Bucks only snagging a 30-28 lead behind a buzzer-beating jumper from Giannis Antetokounmpo. A late 11-0 run without Giannis in the second helped propel the Bucks back from a deficit, going into half up 64-61. The third period continued Milwaukee’s cold stretch from deep while the Pistons got hot to start. The Bucks entered the fourth trailing 85-87, and could never get over the hump as Saddiq Bey’s career high 34 points lifted the Pistons over Milwaukee to snap a streak not just for Detroit, but the entire Central Division.
