Finale

The Milwaukee Bucks are good. I think it’s finally safe to say that, with the 2016-17 regular season winding down and Milwaukee making a real run at the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Detroit Pistons are bad. It’s definitely safe to say that, with the Pistons slumping all season. A loss here would end Detroit’s playoff hopes if they’re not dead already, as the Pistons are currently sitting tenth in the Eastern Conference.

Milwaukee has the talent and the motivation to win. Now it just comes down to the Bucks executing and getting the job done in front of a hyped home crowd on Friday night.
