Bucks show how lethal they can be in 1 key regard in dominant win over Pistons

In a meeting of teams who were both 3-0 in NBA Cup play, the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons clashed on Tuesday night.

After a shaky start, the Bucks grabbed the lead midway through the first quarter and never looked back, leading for the rest of the contest. Milwaukee went on to win the outing 128-107, continuing their recent win streak while remaining undefeated in NBA Cup play.

How did the Milwaukee Bucks win a game where they were outscored in the paint 56-22? By shooting the lights out from 3-point territory and showing how good they can be in that regard as a team.

The Bucks' have a roster full of electric 3-point shooters

As a team, the Milwaukee Bucks shot a blistering 23-of-41 (56.1 percent) on their 3-pointers against the Pistons. Their 23 makes from the perimeter were a new season-high. This showed that the Bucks roster is littered with strong 3-point shooters who all complement one another offensively to a T.

Damian Lillard, who finished with 27 points, led the charge from three by knocking in five 3-pointers. His three-ball has been hot and cold this season, but games like this showcase that he's still one of the best in the world with the ball in his hands from behind the arc when he's in a groove.

Taurean Prince continued his scorching-hot start to the season by hitting all four of his 3-point tries. Bobby Portis tied him with four makes himself. Gary Trent Jr. and AJ Green continued to provide an offensive spark off the bench by hitting three triples apiece and combining for 27 beautiful points. Even Andre Jackson Jr., who is not much of a shooter, got in on the action with two triples early on.

Brook Lopez and rookie AJ Johnson rounded out the 3-point barrage with a make each, ensuring that everyone from the starters to the end-of-the-bench players got involved.

This might be the best 3-point shooting team the Milwaukee Bucks have had in a long time. This type of floor spacing is needed around Giannis Antetokounmpo, as it opens up driving lanes and the paint for him to attack. If defenses close in on him, Antetokounmpo can kick it out to an open shooter, and knowing he has an incredible amount of marksmen around him makes that decision easier.

While the Bucks are undoubtedly a strong shooting team as is, they could get even better soon with the addition of Khris Middleton, who has yet to play this season. Adding him into the mix here could take this team's floor spacing up yet another notch; they're just waiting for him to be fully healthy at the moment.

The Bucks won't knock down 23 triples or shoot above 50 percent from deep every night, but games like this showcase that this team has shooters from top to bottom, and the talent featured will keep opposing defenses on their toes nightly. Teams can pack the paint in an effort to stop Giannis, but if they do, they may have to live with one of these shooters getting a great look.

With one of the most dominant threats down low the NBA has ever seen and an elite group of floor spacers around him, this Milwaukee Bucks offense has unlimited potential.
