Though there’d be a little bit of adversity in the first half, it’d be another night of easy business for the Bucks. They’d end up knocking off the Detroit Pistons by a score of 120-99 to go up 2-0 in the series.
It’d be a much more competitive first quarter this time around. Detroit would start out with a much higher and more physical intensity than in Game 1. However, despite that, the Bucks still found themselves with a double-digit lead going into the second at 38-27. Eric Bledsoe and his 12 points were a large part of that.
