After a beatdown victory over the Indiana Pacers to advance to 3-0 in NBA Cup play, the Detroit Pistons were feeling confident heading into their final group st

However, the game came against the Milwaukee Bucks, who have owned the Pistons over the previous three seasons. The Bucks maintained their dominance, sending the Pistons to a 128-107 loss. Detroit suffered its 11th straight loss to the Bucks (11-9) and was eliminated from the In-Season Tournament, as Milwaukee won East Group B.

The Detroit Pistons haven't played many, if any, meaningful games in years. The matchup with Milwaukee Tuesday will definitely fit the bill.
