Bucks beat the Pistons 110-108 to improve to 6-0.
It’s the third time in franchise history Milwaukee has started 6-0. They won 60 games the other two times (1971-72 & 2018-19) – 10:32 PM
Kane Pitman @KanePitman
Alongside the nightly dominance of Giannis, the Bucks have looked for other guys to fill the big scoring gap left by Khris Middleton’s absence. The last two it’s been Jrue Holiday.
First 4 games: 56 points on 21-for-67 shooting
Last 2 games: 59 points on 20-for-37 shooting – 10:32 PM

Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
The Detroit #Pistons made an excellent game in Milwaukee. They showed many good things on the floor. Cade Cunningham plays like a true leader. Despite the outcome they have a lot to keep and build off. – 10:32 PM
Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
One thing for sure is you’re going to have to show up against these Pistons. Easy win days are over. – 10:31 PM
Matt Dery @DerySpeaks
Bud runs a double team at Bogey… give the #Bucks coach credit. Cade will hit the shot if he gets it again. #Pistons fought their asses off on second night of back to back. – 10:30 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons had a chance to tie it but Cade’s deep 3 doesn’t fall. That should do it. Fun game. After beating the Warriors last night, Detroit takes the Bucks to the final second. – 10:30 PM
StatMuse @statmuse
The Bucks are 6-0.
Their second best player hasn’t played a single minute. pic.twitter.com/E2KaRtBxoF10:30 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Man, two tough misses for Cade on Detroit’s final possessions. Had good looks on that elbow jumper and 3. – 10:29 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Not sure if the Bucks deserve to escape with this one, but they’re about to get away with it.
Cade Cunningham gets a wide-open 3 in transition, but he missed it. Bucks grab the rebound. Two free throws from Lopez and the Bucks lead, 110-105, with 1.5 seconds left. – 10:29 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Jrue is a bad man. – 10:27 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The #Bucks haven’t made many threes. Jrue Holiday has a few of them.
Another huge step back triple. #Bucks lead 108-105 with 45 seconds left in regulation. – 10:27 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Tie game with less than a minute left. This has been such a great effort for the Pistons – 10:26 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Moments after Stewart tied the game at 105, Jrue Holiday nails a stepback 3-pointer over Ivey to give the Bucks a 108-105 lead with 45.3 seconds left. – 10:26 PM
Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
This shot is just so nice. 😍 pic.twitter.com/YGarono4PR10:26 PM

And the Pistons and Bucks are tied at 1:05 with 57 seconds left. – 10:26 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The #Pistons have tied it up at 105 with under a minute to go. – 10:25 PM
Matt Williams @StatsWilliams
Cade Cunningham has recorded at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in 4 straight games.
That is the longest streak by a Pistons player since Grant Hill in 1999-2000.
Cunningham has scored 25+ points in 3 of the 4 games. – 10:23 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Brook Lopez now has four fouls with 2:26 to go in regulation. #Bucks lead the #Pistons 103-101. – 10:23 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The #Bucks have slowed Cade Cunningham this half (six points thus far) but Bojan Bogdanović now is up to 20 points and three other #Pistons are in double figures. – 10:19 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
WHOA! A 3:01 Use-It-Or-Lose-It by Dwane Casey!
Bucks lead, 102-97, with 3:01 left though. Lopez has been huge tonight with 22pts/8reb. He’s been living at the rim in the second half. – 10:19 PM

The Bucks are the greatest team in world history. pic.twitter.com/gIHQSmQtFg10:18 PM

Jrue Holiday has another double-double: 22 points, 10 assists. The #Bucks lead the #Pistons 100-95 with 3:39 to go in regulation. – 10:15 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Rest of the NBA is finding out what the Celtics found out last year: Pistons are scrappy as hell. – 10:15 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
And there is Antetokounmpo’s fifth foul with 4:56 left.
Budenholzer sends him to the bench for the time being. – 10:14 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo picks up his fifth foul and the #Pistons are in the bonus with 4:56 to go in regulation. #Bucks lead 97-93. – 10:14 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Pistons were down two, 92-90, after a Bojan fastbreak layup. Holiday responded with a 3 on the other end. PIstons down five midway through the 4th – 10:09 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Great hustle by Cade to rectify his blunder. – 10:09 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
And Jrue Holiday ends the drought.
A stepback triple gives the Bucks a 95-90 advantage. – 10:09 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo sits down with just over 7 minutes left in regulation, and the #Pistons have once again cut a 15-point deficit to a bucket at 92-90. – 10:08 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
It’s a four-point game here in Fiserv Forum. Cade just got an impressive chasedown block on Carter and it’s #Pistons ball. – 10:08 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Six-point game in Milwaukee. Pistons have outscored the Bucks in the second half. Win or lose, this team may have turned a corner after last night’s win. – 10:06 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Good effort by Stewart to keep the possession alive. Good play by Bojan to get the ball right back to Stewart for a dunk.
Bucks 92, Pistons 86 with 8:26 to play. Detroit’s still in this, despite several efforts by Milwaukee to pull away – 10:04 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Bucks have not made a 3 here in the second half. 0-for-11 after that Holiday miss.
Big part of the reason they have not been able to put the Pistons away. – 10:00 PM

A nice stretch by Ivey keeps the Pistons within striking distance going into the fourth. Detroit down 11. – 9:53 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
After the #Pistons got it to within a bucket, the #Bucks stretched their lead back to 15. They end the third quarter up 88-77. Giannis Antetokounmpo has 26 while Brook Lopez and Jrue Holiday have 17 each. – 9:53 PM

Bucks up, 83-69, with 3:26 left in the third quarter.
Antetokounmpo has 23pts/5reb/2ast. Lopez up to 17pts/6reb. Holiday is flirting with a triple-double with 17pts/6reb/9ast. – 9:43 PM
Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Grayson Allen is questionable to return with a left knee contusion. – 9:42 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Per @BucksPR, Grayson Allen is questionable to return to tonight’s game with a left knee contusion. – 9:41 PM
Marla Ridenour @MRidenourABJ
Cade York hits a 55-yard FG as time expires in the first half to give the #Browns an 11-0 halftime lead over the #Bengals. Nosers on tonight’s predictions unlikely. – 9:39 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons have no answer for this big Bucks lineup. Noel/Stew are guarding Giannis, leaving Saddiq to try and fend off Lopez. – 9:35 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Jrue Holiday, in the words of World Series of Dice legend Leonard Washington, is the “cot damn devil” on defense…

After Detroit cut it two it appeared the #Bucks decided that was enough – they lead 79-65 now with 6:13 to go in the third quarter. – 9:34 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Pistons just don’t have enough size for this matchup.
When they’ve decided to do so, Antetokounmpo and Lopez are just punishing them underneath. – 9:34 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Brook Lopez is having a field day inside the paint. He’s up to 15 points and five rebounds. – 9:33 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Bogey gets a technical after arguing a non-goaltend call. Bucks are quickly up 10 after a good Piston start. – 9:33 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Giannis had scored Milwaukee’s last 10 points before that free throw from Allen. – 9:32 PM

Brook Lopez blocked Bogdanovic’s floater. He didn’t like that. Thought it was goaltended.

#Pistons trail 68-61 with 8:49 left in the third quarter. – 9:28 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Jrue is doing Jrue things. He knows Isaiah immediately wants to roll so he’s jumping it. It’s baited Stew into one or two fouls. Jrue probably should have gotten one or two also. – 9:28 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo picks up his third foul trying to get separation downfield on a Jrue Holiday pass. – 9:26 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Isaiah Stewart has four fouls. Pistons really can’t afford him being in foul trouble. Might see a lot of Noel in the second half. – 9:26 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
…and just like that, the Pistons are only down 2. – 9:24 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Bojan opens the second half with a 3, and then a bad pass from Allen leads to a transition layup for Bey, plus an and-1 free throw. Pistons down two, 60-58 – 9:23 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bogdanovic hits a 3 on the first possession of the second half. Grayson Allen turns it over on the second and Bey goes the length of the floor for an and-one.
And it is now a two-point game. – 9:23 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Pistons cut it 60-55 to open the half.
Then the #Bucks turn it over and Saddiq Bey gets an and-one on the fastbreak going the other way. 60-58. – 9:23 PM
Detroit Pistons @DetroitPistons
Cade has 19 points at halftime…
Scary hours😈 – 9:13 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Not a terrible end to the half for the Pistons, only down by eight going into the break after playing against the Warriors last night. Saddiq Bey got going late in the 2Q. However, that was the Cade Show: 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting.
Ivey with some good stuff, too. – 9:09 PM

A little secret for the Detroit sports fans out there: 2 pm every day on The Ticket sets the tone and is the prep for your columnists, opinionists, sportscasters, you name it. They all listen. They run to the radio. Heck, I listen. The teams and schools do too. Pretty powerful. – 9:06 PM

If you’re curious what Dwane Casey thinks of Giannis Antetokounmpo, he name dropped Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson when he talked about Antetokounmpo’s journey to becoming MVP.
“History is going to be good to Giannis…which is unfortunate for all of us.” – Casey – 7:52 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
The #Pistons are wearing their white association jerseys tonight, while the Bucks will wear their black statement uniforms.
I know Detroit just wore teal at home, but I think it’s so weird that the NBA went away from the traditional home (light)/road (dark) uniform matchups. – 7:51 PM
Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Jrue recorded 30 points & 10 assists for the 3rd time as a Buck on Saturday.

Note: The Bojan Bogdanovic extension fits within “extend-and-trade” limitations (5% or below in raises, no more thn 2 additional years) and while the Pistons may have no intention to trade him, legally, they can this season – 7:41 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Same starters as usual for the #Pistons: Cunningham, Ivey, Bey, Bogdanovic and Stewart. – 7:40 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Per a source, the second year of Bojan Bogdanovic’s two-year, $39.1 million extension is partially-guaranteed at $2 million but can raise if certain conditions are met. $2 mil is the base amount. – 7:39 PM

Dwane Casey also mentioned that Jalen Duren (left ankle) may make the trip to Milwaukee tomorrow.
