Bucks at Pistons from November 2nd, 1990

welcome everybody to the day we’ve all been looking forward to the start of a new NBA season on 2K Sports in this game we’ll see the Detroit Pistons going up against the Milwaukee Bucks alongside Mike Fello and Clark Kellogg I’m Kevin Harland david Aldridge is with us from the sidelines you know coach I’m always so excited for the season to tip off there is no better time of the year everyone has a clean slate and the title chances are all even it’s a long season and there’s a lot of noise about projections and whatnot but today’s the day to set your tone for the season and the shot goes in for Muire the basis of our game is the pass sharing being a great teammate here’s Humphre to the right side robertson against Dumar ibo shot a shot by Robertson no good boy that’s a squandered opportunity there one he’d like to have back for sure pass to Thomas back to Dumars it’s rebounded by Robertson on offense here the Bucks and the basket is good attacking the paint that time unfazed by the bigger defender touch angles whatever it takes to elude the shot blocker [Applause] [Music] here’s Thomas and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two don’t be fooled by his size and that smile thomas is as tough as nails and as feisty a competitor as you’ll see shooting two [Applause] and he can’t get the first one let’s [Applause] get it and the second free throw good now here is Humphre [Applause] pass to Robertson pocket six here’s Roberts that’s in coming off the assist from Robertson the inside D tries to smother him but he stays strong and wins out in the end jumar against Robertson and here’s Edwards thomas inside it’s Dumar’s on the wing over Robertson and Dumar gets it to go great use of the mid-range joe Dumar’s pouring into two the Bucks have gone two or three here to start off the game now Humphre over to the left wing Robertson and it’s another Milwaukee shot right there going in a red hot beginning to this game well he’s a real good offensive player so they want to get him going early humphre against Thomas comes out of the gate empty he’s 0 for one the Ducks have gone three of four from the field to start out the game humphre no good that was tough to watch he takes it all the way to the cup and just can’t finish the job to the inside lambir and then Lambir with the dunk like seeing Lambir jam at home refusing to just sell the layup we’re about 3 minutes into this first quarter rowski passes to Robertson off the mark and a bad shot there the Pistons leading outside Thomas it’s Edwards on the wing lan Beir kicks to Thomas that’s in and he found his range with that one now one for two the pace Isaiah plays that can really challenge a defense he gets the hot pass and has a shot up right away out left to the wing here’s Brickowski that’s good and Robertson with the assist you know if the defense is going to give him the mid-range jump shot he’s going to take it all game long doing a nice job keeping things simple well the defense must guard him better than that especially when he’s operating around the mid-range area and he comes up with the deuce thomas got five points so far boy inside the defense goes all out trying to stop Thomas but he stays focused and manages to get around him for the bucket now here is Humphre scoreless thus far [Applause] robertson right side down low here’s Roberts and the layup is good after a nice leap pass attacking in the painted area clearly that was their game plan coming in for Detroit they’ve gone five of seven today so far nice shooting to get this game underway high post Lamb beer on the wing dumar over Robertson dumar misses the Bucks trail robertson with it up top humphre back to Robertson [Music] lets it go from 14 and there are the Bucks with another bucket superb ball control very patient waiting for things to develop in pick and rolls that’s good work jumar’s the pass to Thomas no good on the triple bucks have gone six and nine shooting it well robertson kicks to Humphre [Applause] lambir grabs the board the Pistons shooting 56% in this first quarter an outstanding start for this offense another lead change back and forth we go as neither team willing to back down after a bucket and no matter which side you are cheering for these are the games you love both teams fighting every step of the way so it’s the Bucks now after the basket by Detroit [Music] here’s Roberts the shot comes out great te that time from Edwards [Applause] outside Dumar [Applause] milwaukee foul milwaukee making a switch here second team foul into the lineup for Milwaukee number 15 [Applause] thomas deciding where to go with it another shot and that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul first personal foul yeah you can’t be overly aggressive when you’re defending Thomas because he’s very good at drawing fouls he’s made one and missed one so far in the game [Applause] shooting two [Applause] that free throw good from Thomas [Applause] he’s coming out [Applause] so he hits one of two from the strike one thing you really love about this guy is how hard he works to be reliable i mean he wants his team to know they can always count on fouled in the act of shooting gets the bucket anyway so a three-point play chance for him foul the Bucks shooting their first free throw of the evening at the line for the Bucks rowski frank Bowski one shot [Applause] and that one falls for Bowski you look at Bowski and he’s a really efficient scorer in large part because he’s selective when he takes shots and here is Thomas he has six here’s a bank shot no good got some space in the mid-range but wasn’t able to convert still not a bad chance for him inside and Humphre has it in the corner down to five on the shot clock count it and it’s a three-point Milwaukee lead he’s so difficult to slow down when he gets that fire in his eyes outside Thomas edwards looking it over outside Thomas over Robertson second chance shot and the shot goes in for Meguire maguire’s got his second basket good work on the glass by Magguire fighting to keep the possession alive robertson outside [Applause] [Music] and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here that’s what we call a good foul make them earn it at the line it might not be pretty but that’s the right play in that situation he saved the layup with that foul [Applause] first free throw is good dennis Rodman he’s checked in for Isaiah Thomas [Applause] both shots good from the strike quite simply he’s automatic at the line and the Pistons decide to take their first time out right here [Applause] all right let’s hear it for no answer heat heat [Music] [Applause] [Music] heat heat heat heat [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] pistons trail by Three [Applause] outside Aguire pass to Dumar that one’s all good now he’s three for five from the field how about the timing Dumar possesses fantastic catching and firing right away here’s Connor still scoreless and the Bucks miss again the Vistons have gone eight of 15 from the field shooting above 50% here tonight nazu [Applause] so for the business Sally he’s checked in for Ed Sers comes in for Milanir and it’s Johnson in for Aguire [Applause] johnson with the bounce pass now here’s Dumar he’s guarded close that’s good and it’s his fourth basket of the game he’s a strong four for six such an opportunist dumar sure knows where to get his shots freyer the pass to Shade here’s Gray [Applause] now here’s Ellis low House yes and it’s Ellis picking up the assist impressive work down on the block the Pistons trailing outside dumar here’s Johnson solid play in the low block and that one’s good one team gains momentum then the other storms back back and forth we go kevin if this is any indication of how the game is going to go we got us a real treat on our hands now here is Humphre and here’s Ellis from beyond the arc knocks down the three ball and the Bucks lead by two that’s his shot ellis is so calm and confident firing away from three-point land here’s Dumar that shot no good and so Ellis will bring it up for the Bucks and it’s their first look at this year’s Pistons here for the first game of the NBA’s 82 game regular season outside Dumar the high post shot that’s good basket number five on a five for eight night shooting and both of these teams right now lights out shooting to start this one the offense has been fun to watch but I’m curious as to which team is going to step it up on defense first now here is Humph and two free throws coming up unable to get that one to go with all the content yeah Ellis showing us his willingness to fight for it taking the shot while absorbing the foul for Milwaukee they have gone three for three at the line tonight two shots [Applause] [Applause] and he knocks down the first one dell Ellis has a really good all-around game rock solid a lot of different ways he makes contributions so for the Pistons Gerald Henderson he’s checked in for Jumar and Isaiah Thomas is subbed in for Johnson [Applause] and Ellis drops them both we’ve got 128 left in the first quarter [Applause] outside Thomas Henderson right side over Ellis and Henderson gets it to go on the assist by Thomas and he prefers to get inside but Henderson will take the mid-range jumper when needed here’s Connor hasn’t made one yet here’s Ellis it’s deflected five to shoot tries again and all around the rim that time before dropping in and the Bucks lead by four and well Detroit shooting an impressive 60% early thomas up and in on the layup thomas got eight points even though he’s a smaller guard Thomas is not afraid of attacking inside really good work there [Applause] there’s 31 seconds left here in the opening quarter pass to Ellis unloads and another basket for Milwaukee the quick trigger of Ellis that’s why it’s imperative that you stay tight on him outside Thomas [Applause] no good there offense the order of the day as the first quarter comes to a close bxley by four it’s the NBA on 2K Sports from the Palace of Auburn Hills hello fans of the Tony Hart by talking to you from my uh studios in Climate Falls Oregon uh again this is the game from uh November 2nd 1990 milwaukee Bucks at the Detroit Pistons from the old Palace at Hill kevin Harland will take over from here hey guys what do you think about the offensive approach we’ve seen so far for the Bucks to me it’s been the ball movement that’s been the key i mean going from good to great not settling for a good shot making that extra pass keeping the defense off balance and taking great shots man they’re just bullying the other team in the painted area imposing their will down there let’s credit their discipline they’ve been working for high percentage shots thomas against Henson and the defending champion Chicago Bulls suffered only two playoff losses on their way to the title last season mike can anyone slow them down they sure look tough michael Jordan an all-star in each of his first seven seasons he’s finally got his ring i don’t think he’s done yet but it was interesting to watch him work his way in the team’s way from being in back at teams like Boston and and and now competing with the Pistons it’s a journey isn’t it it is and it was Michael having to trust his teammates that eventually got them to ring here’s Henson isaiah Thomas picking up that last pass ellis outside fires from deep hits the three-point bomb ellis has got 10 points in the game with him the scouting report says you’ve got to go over the screen absolutely he’ll hurt you from deep so you have to fight through those picks now here’s Johnson upside Thomas shoots over Henson and the shot is good the Bucks lead has been cut to just one and the basket from Thomas when Thomas finds his offense he’s deadly because he knows how effective he is when he maintains his aggressiveness edwards checked in for Detroit the Bucks have gone one of three to start out the second quarter [Applause] henson against Thomas here’s Ellis rebounded by Rodman for Detroit they’ve gone a nice three of three to start the seven thomas against Henson thomas dishes to Rodman and that one clearly a foul gets the whistle and two shots coming up rodman is a selective guy when it comes to trying to score he’s not really hung up on his points but he did a nice job there forcing the defender to foul him he’s getting his first free throw attempt of the night right now shooting two [Applause] ties it up and this next one could give them the lead a one-ofa-kind guy Dennis Robin doesn’t care about scoring the worm just wants to board play D win titles that one misses had an opportunity for more there we’ll see if it comes back to bite her and Ellis throws it down all it takes is a few to fall for Ellis to get into a rhythm such an outstanding scorer outside Thomas to the middle here’s Sally and then Sally with the dunk always great to see nice ball movement playing the game unselfishly and Milwaukee calls their first time out of the game all right [Applause] as you’ll notice uh Dennis Rodman this is the pre uh tattoos shoes pre nose and ear piercing pre- dyed hair to Miss Rodman the uh guy said uh Bulls won the uh uh NBA title last year but this was 90 91 and defending champion was the Detroit Pistons we back that series and 8990 featured them in the Portland Trailblazers let’s go back to the action kevin Hurland and crew And here in the second quarter of action with a hair under two and a half minutes played so far astro Roberts fires from 18 rebound Detroit rodman looking it over and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two at the free throw line rodman ever ready to put his body on the line he doesn’t care about the contact as long as he draws the foul the Pistons shooting their seventh and eighth free throw attempts for the game right here take a break take a break two shots [Applause] bad free throw no good [Applause] so neither attempt will fall that time for him bucks have gone two or six on the field in the second quarter so far and the basket by Connor connor has got his second bucket of the night you know that takes a lot of guts going up against a taller defender well you can’t come into the game and count on the fact that your defender is going to be the same size as you you got to prepare for these situations here’s Sers still yet to score it’s good took the smaller defender to task inside great recognition of the mismatch and he’s got his first chance at the line here for the Pistons lambir comes in for Bedford and Aguire’s subbed in for Salad [Applause] and they now lead as the free throw drops for him milwaukee’s gone one of two on three-pointers here in the second quarter so far [Applause] here in the second quarter just under three and a half minutes played on the wing nice touch on the bank shot six points for him clark this has been an absolute war here in the first half a battle royale partner each team really trying to establish itself and the lead just keeps going back and forth now here’s Thomas he’s got 12 that’s Beer ripped away [Applause] here’s Ellis and he makes the bucket gets the whistle and now a three-point play chance here for him asserted play by Ellis in the paint using his athletic ability to find the shot the Buck shooting their sixth attempt with the charity stripe in the game sally he’s checked in for the Pistons [Applause] free throw good ellis pistons trail by four outside Thomas Sally with a screen on Hson and he could not get that one to go lot of contact and he’ll go to the line for two using his quickness on the interior that’s Thomas’s advantage three trips to the line so far for him in this one [Applause] shooting two [Applause] free throw good thomas [Applause] [Applause] and both free throws good for Thomas milwaukee in the lead here’s Connor [Applause] pass to Ellis wide open at basket number six to his stat sheet he’s now six for 10 and he’s been in the zone so far getting to his spots and going to town on the defense outside Aguire now here’s Thomas and the basket is good and he’s got a chance here for one more at the line boy Thomas

eight [Music] they set the pick pass to Ellis here’s Shaves [Music] robertson outside clock at four the shot no good it’s Rodman with the ball for the Detroit Pistons they trail by one uguire against Robertson [Applause] [Music] here’s Sally to the paint here’s Thomas and that one good thomas got 19 points the grit of Isaiah Thomas a point guard willing to bang down low here’s Connor [Applause] on the wing ellis a three ball kicks it out to Robertson here’s Connor ellis left side goes back up and another shot the shots good from Shayes shayes has got his first two points of the night it certainly has been Mike Patello a roller coaster ride you do me one I’ll do you one better feels like we have a lead change every couple of possessions and thank goodness woohoo and it’s wide right it’s off the rim for Milwaukee they’ve gone 7 to 14 in the second quarter shooting to the tune of 50% and he gets the basket officials blowing the whistle so a chance at the line for one more dennis Rodman picks one up this will be his fourth shot at the line in this one edwards he’s checked in for the Pistons dumar comes in for Rodman [Applause] free throw no good for Ellis pistons trail by three here’s Dumar that’s in there coming off the assist from Maguire dumar’s got 12 points in the game dumar fully understands his role in this offense including what shots to take pass to Ellis robertson outside oh he’s going up for the alleyoop here it’s stolen by Edwards driving inside here’s Aguire and he banks in the layup boy what a slick move that time made the defense look absolutely clueless [Applause] robertson with it he’s got eight [Applause] and the Pistons making a change here rodman’s checked in roberts has checked in for Milwaukee [Applause] and here’s Dumar’s he’s got 12

game finding a gap in the D and capitalizing he loss up the alley pass lambir kicks to Rodman [Applause] and the jam by Tennis Rodman with that off thecharts vertical rodman gets up and throws it down easily and some stats here guys is the scoring breakdown for the Pistons everything working for them inside so far guys tons of high quality shots that they’re knocking down inside and taking it inside always a good game plan i’m curious if there’ll be an adjustment from the defense maybe sag off some shooters [Applause] and Rodman no good on that one bucks trail by five now here is Humphre pass to Robertson [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and it’s good off the back rim and in he’s got 12 he’s just so hard to check i mean he can turn you one way then use the spin move put you in the cycle

dependable three-point shooter humphre inside covered by Dumar humphre with the bucket pistons leading by four outside Dumars pass to Aguire good and it’s Dumar’s picking up the assist dumar’s got four assists in the game milwaukee’s gone one of three from way outside since the start of the second quarter [Applause] humphre against Dumar [Applause] humphre the pass to Roberts seven foot shot nice D from Lane Beer and that’s a strong defensive effort to force the miss especially against someone of his caliber clampir with a screen on Robertson pass to Dumar sinks that one from the post and now it’s a 9point Detroit lead and Dumar focuses on taking quality shots when he does this he’s capable of getting high [Applause] 55 seconds left to play here in the second quarter [Applause] here’s Roberts Lambir defending here’s Sigma on it from 12 sick moves got his first basket it’s a rather unique shooting form sigma puts that ball way behind his head but I tell you what it’s basically unblockable edwards a screen on Humphre pass to Edwards here’s Rodman pistons passing it around just five on the clock [Applause] aguire against Robertson and it’s in there 11 points you know from that far out Aguire pretty much automatic [Music] now Humphre misses the chippy right there isaiah Thomas has been on display for Detroit he comes away with 11 points in the quarter and is showing no

controversy with the Knicks and uh and we hope you’ve enjoyed the broadcast so far we’re halfway through the game let’s go back to Kevin Harland and company here’s Humphre cast to Robertson to the middle and he takes that one up and powers it through that’s as easy as it gets for Sigma he looks to dunk it whenever he gets this close thomas against Humphre [Music] thomas kicks to Dumar over Robertson dumar’s misses bucks trail by seven pass to Humphre to the wing on the left here’s Robertson shot is good off the back rim and in robertson’s got 14 points for the game the floor awareness of Humphre outstanding at whipping passes to open teammates [Applause] outside Thomas pass to shot left block it’s held in by Sigma and for Milwaukee they’re shooting so well 63% the offense working as one cohesive unit jay Humphre is very effective as a shooter from the mid-range you got to DM him up better than that here is Thomas following the bucket by the Bucks [Applause] high arcing shot milwaukee with a rebound sick moves got rebound number seven for him tonight and now around two minutes gone by in this half [Applause] humphre inside thomas is there and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up that’s on Isaiah Thomas and I love how Humphre lets the game come to him doesn’t force anything terrific at managing the pace for Milwaukee they have shot six of seven at the line

glass dumar’s got 21 in the game he’s got a nice touch around the rim the defense might be better off fouling him well we’re into the third quarter just over two and a half minutes played back to Humphre here is Bowski aguire covering and here’s Robertson outside rebound by the Pistons their biggest lead of the game was nine pass to Thomas the kick out to Dumont lambir with a screen on Robertson down low lambir good and now a fivepoint Detroit lead relentless in his approach lambir comes at you every minute he’s on the floor here is Bowski [Applause] third quarter of basketball here in just a little under three and a half minutes gone by [Applause] and here’s Humphre he’s got eight shoots the three gets it to go from beyond the arc humphre has got 11 points it is so good whenever Humphre is connecting from deep because it helps this offense run a lot smoother [Music] [Applause] draws contact on the shot and now a three-point play chance as he’ll head to the line the defense couldn’t collapse quickly enough this will be his fifth trip to the free throw line at the line for your Thomas [Applause] bucks trail by five now humphre 11 points in the game [Music] pastor Robertson aguire grabs the miss rebound in this one here’s two marks and the Pistons getting another bucket right there put the ball on the string just getting anywhere he wants to go here’s Humphre [Applause] pastor to Robertson there’s the pick five on the clock to the left wing here’s Bowski that’s good and Robertson with the assist robertson’s got six assists here tonight this speaks to Browsky’s confidence feels comfortable taking quick shots off the catch now here’s Thomas he’s got 22 [Applause] and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two and a moment here to take a look at the scoring breakdown for the Pistons you know all game long they’ve imposed their will on the interior scoring a lot of points in the painted area and they’ve been letting it rain from the mid-range a throwback approach that’s really working well for them in this one the first free throw is good rodman he’s checked in for Edwards [Applause] and both free throws good for Thomas bucks trail by six inside and there’s Robertson that’s good on the assist by Humphre humphre has got his sixth assist on the night the Pistons have gone four of seven to get things started here in the second half lambir with a screen on Humphre thomas kicks to Lambir aguire with it 11 points in the game six on the shot clock wants to go from the baseline and nails it aguire’s got 13 points and Aguire really talented offensively actually knows how to get his shots at the offensive end and doesn’t force it though lets the game come to him now here is Humphre he’s got 11 to the inside robertson he watches it go through the hoop for his eighth make now eight for 14 you know I think they’ve got to show a little more anticipation dealing with these screens because right now they’re just laying on them and getting stuck look you have to go over the top or duck under right now they’re seemingly trying to go through the screen bucks trail by four [Applause] to Humphre [Applause] here’s Roberts defended by Rodman shot by Roberts no good pistons leading by four outside dumar rodman finds Thomas rodman with a screen on Robertson now here is Iguain and it’s blocked good timing from Growski making sure he got all ball and no contact thomas gets the bucket good looking mid-range jumper all he needs is an inch of space milwaukeee’s gone four of eight tonight from three-point land shooting 50% on the three ball here now a timeout called by Milwaukee welcome back my friends uh for halftime at the Palace in Alurn Hills before they played at the Palace detroit played for several years in the cavernous Pontiac Silver Dome and then uh about the few years ago they moved back to downtown Detroit and are currently playing at Little Caesar’s Arena in the city of Detroit

switch here here’s Humphre he’s got 11 pass to Robertson puts up a three milwaukee no good that time either pistons leading by six outside Aguire and here is Thomas and out of bounds as the Bucks gain possession ellis has checked in for Robertson number three Dale Ellis and so it’s Milwaukee now they’ll be playing host to Chicago for their next game that game will be a quick pit stop before hitting the road again on the wing ellis fires for three it’s all in by Dumar the Pistons have gone a solid six of 11 when shooting here in the third quarter and Rodman gets it to go never afraid of or shy away from contact dennis Rodman I think he even seeks to get hit [Applause] here’s Connor pass to Humphre fires the three it falls for his fifth field goal of the night now shooting five for eight ever since halftime they have been parked out at the ark dropping bomb after bomb and who can blame them when you’re hitting like this you got to just keep it going whoops as they pick off the pass [Applause] and the shot is good dropping in off the front of the rim now it’s just a three-point Detroit lead [Applause] [Music] outside Thomas up top Lambir pass to Aguire [Applause] the shot misses ellis with some nice deep bucks trail by three mash count it and 11 chance for a three-point play that’s on Isaiah Thomas oh I love how aggressive Humphre is on offense catching fire right there this is his second trip to the line in this one for the Pistons edwards checked in for Lambir sally comes in for Isaiah Thomas and Serbed in for Aguire [Applause] that one drops he ties it up for Detroit they’ve gone seven of 13 in the third quarter so far just above 50% sellers passes to D pass to Sally down low sellers and that time also a missed shot i thought that one would go down a little puzzling it didn’t offensive rebound two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul and an easy call for the officials there yeah don’t argue that whistle pretty obvious for the Let’s quickly check out the scoring breakdown here for Milwaukee well you know for me the passing has been fantastic all night everybody loves watching this style of basketball where the ball moves and players move coaches fans and even us broadcasters can appreciate that kind of action they’ve also been striking from mid-range with great consistency tonight they just own that part of the floor in this one [Applause] [Applause] that’s also good so he hits both free throws here’s Rodman he’s got seven time called here the Pistons decide to talk it over i think this is more like a tourniquet as opposed to just being a simple timeout yeah they’re just bleeding points here and coach has seen enough welcome back uh in real life the attendance was 21,424 the officials for this game were James Caper senior Hugh Holland and Ed Middleton uh that’s what happened in real life in this game next game I plan to do will be the uh New Jersey Nets at the Indiana Pacers from Marcus Square Arena in Indianapolis Indiana that’ll be the next game i’ll probably do some talking in and out of the uh video so uh you’re forewarned there’s more coming [Applause] heat [Music] heat [Applause] [Applause]

a finish like that can be wow brocking the rim making him pay and smiling back the other way he had a bit of room and wanted to send a message in this close game now here is Humphre he’s got 21 on the wing ellis it’s good from long range ellis has got 24 i think he’s got to show more fight than that can’t give up on the play once you get screened you got to continue to fight through and coach is definitely going to be frustrated with that effort or lack of one that is here’s Rodman [Applause] that’s in and the Milwaukee lead is cut to just five on the basket from Dumar that’s the kind of look you’re working towards nice play [Applause] 36 seconds left in the third quarter on the wing ellis and again it’s Milwaukee converted by he’s making it happen offensively doing his part to craft this lead it’s Rodman with the ball for the Pistons [Applause] sally with a screen on Humphre pass to Dumar humphre with the steal here’s Connor covered by Dumar now here is Humphre Low House and there are the Bucks with another bucket and so it’s Milwaukee in control with the nine-point lead to end the quarter well they trailed by a bunch but once they got going the comeback was on we’ll return shortly

thomas got the fourth quarter going with the first basket of the period here for the Pistons now Henson shoots nice open look but it’s no good he has to make that one i mean you have to make the defense pay when they slough off of you like that stolen by Ellis low house good and the assist goes to Ellis and the Bucks lead by nine and both teams have been clicking all night long on the offensive end great shooting and they’ve executed well it’s nothing but fireworks for the fans now here’s R pass to Sally now Thomas shot clock at five shoots over Henson and there’s another one for the Pistons yeah the jump shot of Thomas cash money boy it’s nice seeing him knock down that mid-range jumper a little over a minute and a half of the fourth quarter gone now low house that misses off

gets the three-pointer to fall ellis has got 29 in the game down the stretch when you need buckets go to the guy who’s got you this far yeah he’s been relentless outside Thomas banked in off the glass thomas got 15 points here in the second half and Thomas’s basketball IQ shines in these screen and rolls clever at exploiting the defense hson the best of Shades and they call the foul so he’s got the and one chance here to make it a three-point play it was just good fundamental play if a guy is this open you feed him meuire’s back in for the Pistons danny Shay one shot one shot [Applause] and the free throw no good pistons trail by eight sellers passes to Sally pass to Aguire ellis on the double team rebounded by Ellis ellis has got five rebounds tonight and here is Henson here’s Ellis over Aguire and a little luck that time but it drops ellis has got the lead up to 10 now for Milwaukee looking to stretch this lead out even further going right after his shot and the defense continues to not be up to the challenge here’s Thomas again the Pistons good for two nice stroke from Thomas there you see the confidence he has in his jumper the Bucks call time here [Applause] we are again uh back at uh the studios in Clement Falls Oregon as we watch the dancers uh perform during the timeouts [Applause] of course this game actually was the game where they raised the championship banner from the previous year and got their championship wings uh again they beat the Portland Trailblazers in the 8990 uh NBA finals of course the reason why I’m doing this year is because this is the year I had the opportunity to do public address announcing for the Portland Trailblazers at the Memorial Coliseum before games so this has some sentiment and when uh we get to the uh Detroit and Portland game which is about a week and a half away or a week away by this calendar in the schedule we’ll have more to talk about so uh right now we’ll uh return side and Kevin’s checked in a moment now to hear from our sideline reporter Hall of Famer David Aldridge david thanks guys i got a chance to hear what Bernard Moon was saying to the team he told his players “I love the energy right now you look like you’re having fun out there keep playing for each other because our chemistry looks great right now.” Back to you guys thank you David on defense the Pistons nice shot from 10 ft out robertson’s got 20 points really textbook use of the dribble getting inside to get his work done outside Aguire pass to Thomas three they get it back rodman and he uses the glass on the layup well we’ve seen Rodman do that often going up getting that board and getting the put back exactly what you want from him inside spreading it like butter clark you could not cook it up any better than that yeah delicious now here’s Thomas [Applause] whistle blows bucket is good and he’ll have a chance at the line to make it a three-point play boy Isaiah Thomas such a creative ball handler rush hour handles and a fantastic feel for how to break defenses down the Bucks making a switch here one shot [Applause] free throw good thomas here’s Umpre [Applause] the 10-footer sally with the rebound well that’s a good player missing from point blank range that’s one you got to convert the offensive rebound that one doesn’t drop bucks leading by seven here’s Humphre bash to Connor now Robertson shoots a three talis grabs the rebound to the middle here’s Rodman and Rodman with the slam that’s what this team needs right now you’re right cutting the deficit with the one-handed flush maybe that can give them a little spark a different look here for Detroit bill Lambir’s checked in for Sally and it’s Dumar’s in for Sers and Milwaukee also making a switch roberts checked in [Applause] and that one misses milwaukeee’s gone one and two from three-point range here in the fourth rowski passes to Humphre [Applause] over Thomas humphre with the bucket humphre has got 23 points that kind of defense isn’t going to get it done especially when it comes to a scorer of his caliber thomas dishes to Rodney nice ball movement by Detroit good on that shot with that the Bucks lead is cut down to four on the bucket from Thomas and Thomas very capable of knocking down the tray got to respect his ability to shoot the long goal the Bucks call time well I have a moment uh a little closed circuit jeff and or

Shelly Fields now back to Kevin Harland and the gang detroit making a switch edwards has checked in james Edwards [Applause] Stolen by Thomas and now the Pistons fast break there’s a rebound by the Bucks they’ve led by as much as 10 roberts looking for an opening now here is Humphre to the paint it’s stolen by Edwards [Applause] outside Dums right side Thomas over Humphre good on that shot with that the Bucks lead is cut down to two on the bucket from Thomas even with a hand right in his face Thomas is determined to get a shot to fall pass to Bowski three from Robertson rebounded by the Pistons edwards got four rebounds in this game here’s a player that one falls coming off of Thomas’s feet thomas got five assists in the game milwaukee has gone 715 from three-point range tonight they’re not afraid of that shot now Humphre [Applause] there’s a good screen here’s Sigma whistle blows basket is good so a chance here for a three-point play sigma doing a nice job using his height on the backboard does a really good job pouncing all over misses at the line for the Sigma jack Sigma one shot [Applause] one shot [Applause] from a very small college sickle was drafted eighth overall and at the time that surprised some people but he’s been tremendous now here’s Thomas here’s Aguire nice pass led him to the rack perfectly for the layup got four points this quarter here’s Humphre [Applause] a Castro Roberts high post try rebound by the Pistons got six rebounds here tonight here’s Thomas a miss that time would have put him up and so it’s Roberts they’ll bring up the ball for the Milwaukee Bucks they lead by one milwaukee no good that time either detroit’s gone three of five from beyond the arc so far tonight had a hand on it and he stays with it and he hits it and gets hecked on the play a three-point possibility if he can convert the free throw foul Roberts third personal foul third team foul at the line for your Pistons joe Dum shot [Applause] free throw good dumar’s Dumar is such an outstanding combo guard he has no weaknesses in his game and is the kind of hard-nosed player that any team would appreciate now here is Humphre pass to Robertson and it falls over the rim and in robertson’s got it all tied up now for the Bucks with him the scouting report says you’ve got to go over the screen absolutely he’ll hurt you from deep so you have to fight through those picks tumar’s misses milwaukee has gotten just one of four three-pointers to go down for them here in the fourth robertson passes to Humphre [Applause] back to Robertson pride to shoot lets the three fly sinks the triple now it’s a threepoint Bucks lead he’s dominating this game right now making the D look utterly helpless outside Dumar rebound by Roberts roberts got his fifth rebound in this one [Applause] it’s good and the Bucks lead by five that’s too easy high percentage look without much defensive pressure it’s Thomas high post he’s against Humphre to the wing right side aguire passes to Edwards thomas looking to end the run gets rebounded by Robertson milwaukee leading by five [Applause] here is Bowski pass to Zma humphre kicks to Robertson back to Humphre [Applause] and the shot goes in humphre has got 25 points well I love the fact that they are looking to keep building onto this lead they want to extend it hoping to break the game open if they can it won’t happen all at once but little by little they are executing and starting to open the lead 109 left in the fourth [Applause] humphre against Thomas now here is Humphre defense is right there astro Roberts edwards with the block good read on defense edwards getting his timing just right on the rejection timeout Pistons we’re getting down to crunch time here we the Bucks leading the Pistons 126 to 119 of course uh again I think the Pistons have a little pride don’t want to lose this game considering this is their uh banner racing and ring ceremony tonight [Applause] and let’s get back to the action from the Palace at Auburn Hills goes up off the inbound it counts oh and that cuts the lead to just five well Dumar has no problem stepping up for his team he’s always ready to drop a shot and that’s an intentional foul second personal foul third team 43 seconds left in the fourth quarter of this one here is Bowski aguire covering here’s Roberts great T that time from Edwards oh this is do or die right now they’ve got to play flawlessly here’s Thomas yes what a big time shot from a big time leader thomas coming up huge there foul 14 foul at the life of Detroit isaiah Thomas shooting one shot and now they decide to foul intentionally well you know he had to stop the clock so that really was the best thing he could have done there yep can’t just let the other team drain the clock when it’s close like this two shots take a break big break two shot [Applause] he drops the first one that makes it a three-point lead [Applause] so he goes two for two at the one and it’s a four-point ball game big free throws there making this a two-p possession game time called here the Pistons decide to talk it over there’s 21 seconds left here in the fourth quarter and let’s get your take guys what’s the strategy no doubt about it they’ve got to get a quick bucket here they do have to work quickly but it is still possible again a reminder my next game I’ll be uh live streaming will be the uh New Jersey Nets at the Indiana Pacers after I take a quick break I’ll uh start that video for you again uh subscribe to my YouTube channel Tony Hartley Sports or please subscribe to my YouTube

all the games that I’m doing [Applause] there’s 21 seconds left in the fourth quarter connects again talking about much in the clutch great to see him come through right there big time shot for sure it’s got to help his confidence as well as his team they’re going to prolong the game here with an intentional foul [Applause] two [Applause] break two shots [Applause] he hits the first one and that makes it a three-point lead [Applause] second one is good both at the line it’s a four-point ball game now a timeout called by Detroit 16 seconds left to play in the final quarter what do you think coach’s focus is going to be here and I think they’re going to have to work really fast coming out of the timeout yeah they’re in desperation mode right now need a quick shot and a foul [Applause] typical NBA game last two minutes last forever so uh let’s go uh Pistons have one timeout left uh Bucks have two bucks will seem uh okay to not use their time out pistons will uh probably use the last one after another dead ball coaches in this game in real life for Dell Harris for the Milwaukee Bucks Chuck Daly for the Detroit [Applause] Again if you get a chance sub please subscribe to my channel and you can watch all these games on archive that I’m doing on my playlist [Applause] 16 seconds left in the fourth quarter aguire passes to Dumar launches it from deep they grab their own miss outside aguire from deep three-point land dumar misses and we see more and more players possess this kind of range he didn’t get it to go but you love to see the confidence from him there so a close game sees Milwaukee taking this one talk about grinding it out coachello and on the road no less boy this was a nice win for him they certainly were tested here have to appreciate their perseverance
