With Duncan Robinson still on the bench with a sprained ankle, the Bucks packed the paint against the Detroit Pistons, played zone and dared anyone to beat them from the outside.
The Pistons hoisted an uncharacteristic 43 attempts from long range but only made 14 of them. The Bucks were actually worse, but the Pistons went away from their strength and lost the battle of points in the paint, which has rarely happened this season, and that was with Giannis Antetokounmpo (new pipe dream for Pistons fans) out.
The Bucks played zone defense for much of the game, something NBA teams can rarely get away with, as most offenses are too good and just find holes to exploit or shoot over it.
