After a sluggish start to the season, the Milwaukee Bucks just notched their seventh straight win over the Detroit Pistons. This led All-Star guard Damian Lillard to post an immediate reaction after his team got the victory.
Milwaukee secured a convincing 128-107 victory over the Pistons, advancing to the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup. Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s stellar performance, scoring 28 points on an impressive 10-of-11 shooting, the team displayed their offensive firepower. Lillard also contributed significantly, adding 27 points, as Milwaukee extended its winning streak to seven games.
The game began with Lillard hitting a jumper on the opening possession, quickly establishing a 10-4 lead for his team. Despite an early response from Detroit, Milwaukee maintained control throughout. By halftime, they were ahead 78-59, having showcased remarkable shooting efficiency, hitting over 70% of their shots in the first half.
Antetokounmpo’s dominance was evident not just in scoring; he also recorded eight assists and seven rebounds, highlighting his versatility. His ability to create plays and involve teammates was crucial in keeping the Pistons at bay. In fact, he rested during the fourth quarter, underscoring the Milwaukee’s comfortable lead.
The Pistons, despite a spirited effort from Cade Cunningham, who scored 23 points, struggled to keep pace with Milwaukee’s offensive onslaught. The loss eliminated Detroit from the NBA Cup, marking a disappointing end to their tournament run.
