Rapid Recap: Bucks Pummel Pistons, 121-86
Business as usual. Those three words would best sum up today’s performance, as the Bucks crushed the Pistons 121-86 to go up 1-0 in this playoff series.
Things would go expected in the first quarter. It’d take about 20 seconds for the Bucks fans to erupt in unison. Milwaukee quickly raced out to a 38-18 lead after one, led greatly by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez.
It’d be the same story in the second quarter — utter domination. Detroit had zero answers, and would fail to get anything to fall. George Hill would come off the bench with hefty contributions in the second, and play a role in the Bucks maintaining a massive halftime lead, 70-43.
