The Milwaukee Bucks had a nice run in the middle of the 3rd quarter and cut the lead to 2 points with 3:00 minutes to go in the third. But the Detroit Pistons outscored the Bucks by 8 points to close the quarter and maintained a 10 point lead going into the fourth. Andre Drummond dominated the glass and helped the Pistons pull away in the fourth. The Pistons (2-1) won their second in a row Sunday night with an 83-98 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks (1-2).
