Pistons’ memorable win marks a turning point in their season
DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons showcased impressive resilience and teamwork on Saturday night, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 124-112.

Pistons’ Performance Highlights
In the first half of the game, the Pistons shot an impressive 57.1% from the field, capitalizing on the absence of the Bucks’ superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who sat out due to a right calf strain. With their opponents struggling, the Pistons maintained a comfortable double-digit lead for the majority of the game, a clear reflection of both individual skill and collective execution.
Impact of Kevin Porter Jr. on the Bucks
Despite the loss, Milwaukee’s Kevin Porter Jr. shone brightly, scoring a season-high 32 points, showing his capability as a key player in the Bucks’ lineup. His performance, however, was not enough to overcome the challenges posed by the Pistons. The Bucks have now faced difficulties, losing ten of their last twelve games, dropping their season record to 10-15 while the Pistons improved to 19-5 with this latest win.
The Season Series Progress
