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 stage game. Over the weekend, the Pistons went head-to-head with the Philadelphia 76ers one night after their win over the Pacers.

The Pistons struggled to defend Milwaukee's shooters during their loss on Nov. 13, and the Bucks shot even better the second time around. It also helped that they had Lillard, who missed the first game with a concussion and knocked down five 3-pointers on Tuesday.

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 the Bucks won East Group B.
