The outlasted the 141-135. They pulled ahead late in a slog of a game on the strength of Dame’s season-high 45 points. Yes, the Pistons scored that much. But luckily the Bucks scored more.
Game Recap
A slow start for both teams turned into a fairly even affair. Brook turned in a 4-4 frame for 11 points, but the Pistons (particularly Alec Burks) were hot from deep and took the lead 38-34 after one. Lead by Bojan Bogdanovic, they maintained that lead for most of the second. The Bucks turned it on (relatively speaking) to close out the quarter, with Dame hitting a late three to cap his team-high 17 points and put the Bucks up 70-67.
