FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Tuesday night’s 115-105 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at Little Caesars Arena
NOT THIS TIME – The signature win the Pistons need to jump start a home-stretch playoff drive didn’t come against the team with the NBA’s best record. Milwaukee led wire to wire, though the Pistons kept surging back after trailing by double digits, including pulling within four points late in the third quarter. But the Bucks closed the quarter on a 12-4 run to stretch their lead back to 12 points entering the fourth. The Pistons began the night 2½ games behind Charlotte for the final playoff spot in the East with 34 games remaining.
