The Detroit Pistons finished the season 41-41 and just barely clinching the 8th and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks easily swept the Pistons and sent them fishing early.
The Pistons were obviously without their All-Star forward Blake Griffin for the first two games. And Griffin was undoubtedly unhealthy and playing with one knee in the two home games the Pistons lost.
The Pistons had little to no chance of stealing a game even with a healthy Blake Griffin. The Bucks claimed the best record in the league and showed it against the Pistons.
