The Detroit Pistons took a beating at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs Sunday night. The Pistons will hope to forget all but one shining glimmer of hope in the 121-86 Game 1 loss — the performance of Luke Kennard.
Sunday’s game felt over before it began when it was announced that All-Star forward Blake Griffin would be out for the night dealing with knee soreness that may keep him out the rest of the series. The Bucks ran out to a 20-point lead after the first quarter and there was no looking back.
