Pistons no match for NBA champion Bucks, lose by 28 points

Detroit — When the shots aren’t falling, basketball is a tough game, both to play and to watch.

The Pistons are in one of those stretches where most of their shots are missing and most of the opponents’ shots are falling. It’s making for a tough start to the season, especially against some of the best teams in the league.

Even shorthanded, the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks were able to get their shots to drop, and the Pistons struggled again on offense, in a 117-89 loss on Tuesday night at Little Caesars Arena.

The Pistons shot just 32% from the field, and the shooting woes were spread around, aside from maybe Jerami Grant, who had 21 points and was 8-of-13 from the field.
