Game Thread, Bucks vs Detroit, 2/22/08
A repeat of Wednesday's game. Can the Bucks pull off an upset again?
Quote:
Teams: Milwaukee Bucks (20-34) vs. Detroit Pistons (39-14).
When: 7 tonight.
Where: The Palace of Auburn Hills.
Broadcasts: TV - FSN Wisconsin cable. Radio - AM-620.
About the Pistons: They are 0-2 since the all-star break, including a 103-98 loss to the Bucks Wednesday at the Bradley Center. Coach Flip Saunders has been concerned about his team's low energy level since coming back from the break, saying his team has been playing far too passively. Leading into the break, Detroit held seven straight opponents below 100 points and then gave up 103 to both Orlando and the Bucks.
PLAYER TO WATCH
RASHEED WALLACE, Pistons
He almost single-handedly led the Pistons back into the game Wednesday, sinking 4 three-pointers in the fourth quarter as Detroit cut an 18-point deficit to three late in the game.
