FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Thursday night’s 126-106 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at Little Caesars Arena
TURNOVER TROUBLE – The Pistons are going to struggle to get wins against arguably the NBA’s toughest closing schedule, but they’re going to be flailing in quicksand if they lose the turnover battle as decisively as they lost it to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Pistons found themselves trailing by 29 points at halftime for a variety of reasons – the fact Milwaukee All-Stars Giannis Antetokoumnpo (who finished with 33) and Khris Middleton (28) combined for nearly as many points in the half (37) as the Pistons totaled (41) among them – but the glaring stat was turnovers.
