What The Buck?!

The Milwaukee Bucks outlasted the Detroit Pistons in Overtime, 140-133.  Detroit didn’t lose this game for a lack of trying.  They 19 more shots!  Usually when you take THAT many more shots than your opponent you’ll win the game; and they shot a decent 48% from the field.  But the Bucks did two things to win this game: 1) they made 58% of their shots (1 less than Detroit), and 2) they made 8 more FT’s, and that was the difference in this game.  Shout out to Pat Connaughton who dropped a game high 43 points to go along with 11 rebounds.
