First Quarter


The game began with both teams displaying strong offensive plays. The Pistons took an early lead, scoring 29 points compared to the Bucks' 22. The Motor City squad capitalized on their fast break opportunities and maintained a solid defense that limited Milwaukee's scoring chances.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Milwaukee found some rhythm as they outscored Detroit by two points, putting up 34 against Detroit's 32. Myles Turner contributed significantly during this period with his defensive presence and efficient shooting from beyond the arc.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, both teams continued their competitive exchange. The third quarter saw a balanced effort from both sides; however, it was Detroit who managed to extend their lead slightly by adding another point advantage over Milwaukee’s tally of 25 for that segment.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter was marked by an intense push from the Herd as they attempted to close in on Detroit's lead. Despite scoring an impressive 31 points in this period—thanks largely due to Kevin Porter Jr.'s dynamic performance—the Bucks were unable to overcome their deficit fully. Meanwhile, consistent contributions from various Pistons players ensured they held onto their advantage until time expired.
