The Pistons are just hoping for some improvement in the 7 games remaining on their schedule while the Bucks are still competing for a possible playoff berth. The different stakes for the two teams was evident last night at the Palace where Milwaukee played with a sense of urgency in disposing of Detroit 113-to-97.

The Piston’s fourth loss in five games leaves them with a 22-and-37 record. Brandon Knight led Detroit with 25 points. Tomorrow night, the Pistons play at Chicago.
