After a strong six-game winning streak, the defending champion Bucks took a break from the game and sat at home to meet the Pistons' challenge.
On the Bucks side, the core of the team, Middleton, ushered in a comeback, and the big three reunited in this campaign, and they are also ready to lead the Bucks to defend the home court and win 7 consecutive games.
On the other hand, on the Pistons side, Canningan returned, and whether the Pistons can take advantage of the chase to win 2 consecutive wins, Sadiq Bay + Diallo obviously needs to perform!
Finally, after four quarters of play, with a wave of 13-0 offensive frenzy, the Bucks, who played at home, although in the first half, once overwhelmed the Pistons and achieved a slight score advantage.
But after returning from the second half, the Bucks suddenly muted in the third quarter, and Sadiq Bay ushered in an outbreak, leading the Pistons to play a wave of counterattack frenzy, instantly reversing the situation on the court.
Coupled with the final showdown moment, Cunningham + Josh Jackson continued to attack, joining forces to blast a wave of 7-0, helping the Pistons completely lock in the victory.
The Pistons, who finally withstood the pressure, also beat the Bucks 115-106 on the road, which was worth the trip to win 2 consecutive wins and end the opponent Bucks' winning streak!
Rushing to the away game in this game, the Pistons will continue the fiery state of the previous game, playing a team attack with 5 people scoring in double figures and multi-point blossoming.
In the case of the main forces such as Diallo + Lyles, each performing its own duties, the two core Sadiq Bey + Cunningham, and the play of Tiger General Josh Jackson on the bench are particularly critical!
In this game, Sadiq Bay fired widely, shooting eight three-pointers on 12-of-22 shooting, a game-high 34 points, plus eight rebounds, four assists and one steal.
And in the third quarter, his heroic performance of riding a single horse to score 14 points not only helped the Pistons smoothly open the score gap, but also became a difficult existence for the Bucks at both ends of the attack and defense!
In addition, the game ushered in a comeback, and the play of Canningan also played a crucial role.
Cunningham lived up to expectations, starting 36 minutes, 8 of 15 shots contributed 19 points + 4 rebounds + 7 assists + 1 block of the offensive and defensive performance, it is not difficult to see that despite the long lack of battle, Cunningham still maintains a fairly good competitive state and physical condition!
Of course, the Pistons were able to stage a big upset in this game, and the performance of Tigers on the bench by Josh Jackson was also indispensable.
Josh Jackson was very efficient, playing 17 minutes off the bench, shooting nearly 70% of the way from 9-of-13 shooting, and hitting five three-pointers from the outside and getting an excellent performance of 24+5+2+1.
More importantly, Josh Jackson personally did not make a mistake in this game, and it can be said that at both ends of the attack and defense, he completely disrupted the defensive rhythm of the Bucks, and won the game for the Pistons, making a great contribution!
On the other hand, on the Bucks side, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the second half of this game, and finally lost the game performance by 9 points, which obviously made it difficult for the home fans to accept.
After all, in the case of Alphabet Brother + Holliday playing well, scoring 31+10+7+1 and 29+5+5+2 respectively, Middleton's performance in this game is indeed a bit unsatisfactory!
Middleton's comeback status has yet to be adjusted, starting 26 minutes, only 3 of 10 shots are not good, and the outside three-point shot is only 6 shots and only 1 of 6 completely lost the crosshairs.
In the whole game, Middleton only got a 10-point + 6 rebounds + 2 assists slump performance, I have to say that in terms of shooting feel, Middleton still needs some time to adjust!
In the face of Sadiq Bay + Cunningham + Josh Jackson, who has gone crazy, and the Pistons, who are all soldiers, the alphabet brother + Holliday, who has worked hard for a whole game, seems to have no choice but to admit it.
