How about those Detroit Pistons… fluctuating back and forth with each quarter… only to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on an Andre Drummond tip-in to claim a one-point win with two seconds left!

The first quarter and the third were extremely porous defensively… and offensively! But the 2nd and 4th were both explosive victories for the boys in White. Maybe playing at home was the one thing preventing us from a total meltdown…

Down 17 in the 2nd we finally strapped on our shoes and played some defense. We ended the half down three. There was no excuse for Milwaukee to have the tenacity a team playing for their playoff lives (us!) should have. It looked like we’d turned the corner… but got back down double-digits in the third. Luckily, we hustled hard enough and snagged some offensive rebounds to keep within striking distance down the stretch.

BUT – we were running out of time. Jerryd Bayless took two free throw attempts with under ten seconds left and a one point Milwaukee lead, and BRICKED THEM BOTH! After the rebound we called timeout.

Caldwell-Pope launched a three and missed with four seconds left, but Drummond put it back (while possibly being fouled) for the lead! And we stayed on the inbound to prevent any last second snarfing…

BIG WIN.
