The Bucks put their three game winning streak on the line as they hosted the red hot Detroit Pistons who were winners of five straight. These two teams had previously met in Detroit on November third with the Pistons winning that one 105-96 and Jason Kidd’s were fired up for this one.
Both teams battled hard throughout the game and went into the locker room tied at 41 at the half. The Bucks came out swinging in the third and scored 34 points compared to 15 in the second.
Despite being down 15, the Pistons fought back and managed to pull within one (93-92) with 1:23 remaining. With the game tied at 93 and 42 ticks left, Eric Bledsoe hit a jumper and a steal by Antetokoumpo on the defensive end is what ultimately gave the Bucks the win.
The “Greek Freak” finished with 21 points, 6 boards, 1 assist, 3 steals and 4 blocks despite battling foul trouble.
