They led 78-59 at halftime and showed incredible shooting efficiency, hitting over 70% of their shots in the first half.

The Pistons, despite a dogged 23-point effort from Cade Cunningham, struggled to keep up with Milwaukee’s offensive attack. The loss eliminated Detroit from the NBA Cup, marking a disappointing end to their tournament streak.
