Milwaukee Bucks: Player grades for 126-106 win over Detroit Pistons
The Milwaukee Bucks returned from the All-Star break, completing one of their most dominant victories of the season as they tore apart the Detroit Pistons Thursday night.
Returning to action following the All-Star break, the Milwaukee Bucks didn’t miss a beat as they completely ran through the Detroit Pistons Thursday night in a 126-106 victory at Little Caesars Arena.
Save for the absence of veteran sharpshooter Kyle Korver, the Bucks resembled the full strength squad they have been for the bulk of the season, and certainly enjoyed having Giannis Antetokounmpo back in the fold following the birth of his son last week.
