Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways from 110-87 loss to Detroit Pistons

Through the looking glass

Considering the size and sturdiness of the Pistons’ front line, it was justifiable for Bucks fans to fear the team’s chances fighting on the glass Wednesday night. Those worries came to pass as the Bucks were absolutely crushed by the Pistons in the rebounding battle 57-35.

To add to the pain, the Pistons got reload after reload after reload by tallying 22 total offensive rebounds as a team (the Bucks snared down six offensive boards by comparison). To put that in perspective, the Bucks pulled down 29 defensive rebounds as a team for the night.

To delve deeper, the Pistons put down 26 second chance points on their numerous offensive rebounds throughout the night.

As expected, Andre Drummond feasted down low by pulling down 16 rebounds for the game, 10 of them coming on the offensive end alone. While Drummond was a problem the Bucks couldn’t solve all night long, his backup, Eric Moreland, posed the same problem for the Bucks by bagging 12 boards, five of them coming offensively.

So yeah, the Bucks’ productivity on the glass was a whole lot of “NOT GREAT, BOB!” all throughout Wednesday night’s affair.
