Opening up their Summer League account on Friday night, the Milwaukee Bucks notched a definitive blowout victory over the Detroit Pistons in Las Vegas.

The Milwaukee Bucks started off their Summer League trip to Las Vegas this year on a very positive note by handily taking care of the Detroit Pistons Friday evening, winning 90-63.

Both the Bucks and the Pistons failed to get off to rousing starts on the night, leading to many, if not all fans slowing their roll when it came to getting too over their head with Summer League excitement. With that said, it was the Bucks who found the bottom of the net more in the first period as they led 14-8 at the end of one.

The scoring gridlock gradually started to change throughout the second quarter, with the Bucks once again getting the better of the Pistons and keeping them at bay throughout the period as they led 39-22 going into halftime.

Coming out of the break, the Bucks continued to be untested by the Pistons in the second half, despite not finding the same level of success offensively as they did in the second.

Leading 60-41 going into the fourth, the Bucks quickly put the foot down on the gas to eliminate any threat of the Pistons crafting an unlikely comeback throughout the final period, while Christian Wood provided an exclamation point on the victory with his emphatic play.

So without further ado, let’s continue to break down the Bucks’ opening Summer League tilt and take a look at the players and areas that stood out, for both good and bad reasons.
