Milwaukee Bucks: Small-Ball Lineup Has Big Upside

It has not always been easy to watch the Milwaukee Bucks this season.

Okay, maybe that is an understatement. Between their complete disregard for defense, immense rebounding woes, cold outside shooting, and ever changing lineup pairings, some games the Bucks have played this season have seemed downright unwatchable.

Monday night against the Detroit Pistons however, was quite the contrary. The Bucks came out hungry from the opening tip and blew the game open by the end of the third quarter. They managed to do so by flying around on defense all night. With much improved communication and ball pressure, they forced Detroit into 17 turnovers and held them to 34 percent shooting from the floor.
