The Detroit Pistons (37 - 34) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (30 - 41) 92 - 91 in a thriller on Monday. With two teams battling for their playoff lives, everything was left on the floor. What ultimately decided the game was a game - winning tip in at the buzzer by Andre Drummond. The shooting numbers would indicate a Milwaukee blowout, but that simply wasn’t the case. The Bucks shot 54 percent from the field and 50 percent from three - point range, while the Pistons shot 41 percent from the field and 27 percent from long distance. Detroit really buckled down in the fourth quarter though, as they held the Bucks to 17 points, while scoring 27 of their own. Milwaukee had some slim hopes for playoff chances, but this win very well may have ended those. The bench really let them down, as no player scored more than four points. Khris Middleton led the team with 27 points and hit some huge baskets late. Giannis Antetokonmpo continued his good form, as he tallied 21 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. Greg Monroe double - doubled in a revenge game, as he totaled 18 points and 10 rebounds. On deck for Milwaukee is a matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Detroit was tied for the eight - seed headed into this game, so to say this was a much needed win would be a drastic understatement. Drummond was the hero, as he had the game - winning tip in, but also finished with 14 points and 16 rebounds. Marcus Morris led the team with 21 points and also provided three rebounds and four assists. Detroit will look to build on this win Wednesday against the Orlando Magic in their next matchup.
