5 things learned from Bucks-Pistons Game 1

Maybe we’ll see Milwaukee’s starters play more minutes in closer games, but it should come as no surprise that the Bucks are going with what worked in the regular season in terms of running their offense. Despite winning by 35 points, and leading by more than 40 at times, Milwaukee took a lot of deep shots. A lot. During the regular season, the Bucks averaged 91.1 field-goal attempts and 38.2 3-point attempts, making 35.3% from downtown. In Game 1 against Detroit, Milwaukee took 90 shots, 43 of which were 3-point attempts (making 34.9%). All 11 Bucks players had at least one 3 attempt.
