Coming into tonight, I was a little worried about this game. Historically, Detroit has played down to opponents. That wasn’t the case tonight.
Thanks to some hot three point shooting, especially in the first half, the Detroit Pistons cruised to their second win over the Bucks this season. Detroit shot 12-30 from beyond the arc and 42 percent from the field overall.
Marcus Morris lead the way for the Pistons, scoring 20 points on 8-14 shooting. Morris made some really nice shots in this game, including a couple in the fourth quarter to keep the Bucks from getting to close. The Pistons played some solid defense in this game, forcing 21 turnovers and recording 13 steals.
The win pushes Detroit to 30-29, just half of a game out of eighth place and the Chicago Bulls. It’s Detroit’s third win in a row.
