The Pistons played the Bucks in Milwaukee back on December 1st, which the Pistons won easily 117-91. The Bucks caught the Pistons in the midst of a blow out streak. To Milwaukee’s credit they didn’t really play a bad game. They shot 56% for the game and had 25 team assists but it would have taken an all-star team to hang with the Pistons that night who scored 28 or more in every quarter and were getting contributions from the bottom to the top of their roster.
If you look at the recent track records the Pistons should close out 2007 with their 9th straight win in a row. 2-14 gives the Bucks the most road losses in the East (2nd most in the league behind Minnesota’s 1-15). While the Pistons (12-2) have taken care of home this season.
