Chapter 232: The Irresistible Script

Once certain boundaries are broken, things can escalate to a level of madness that not even the parties involved may have anticipated.

114 to 89

In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks scored a substantial home victory over the Detroit Pistons, seizing the opening victory of the divisional championship round.

For the Bucks, scoring 110 points in a single game is hardly noteworthy.

But for the Pistons, that's terrifying.

"This is the second time this season that the Pistons have allowed more than 110 points in a game,"

The Dallas Mavericks were the last to accomplish this feat.

Besides the Mavericks, including last season—when Carlisle was still the Pistons' head coach—the Pistons had not allowed more than 110 points in a game again.

But tonight against the Bucks, it happened right in the first game.

Was this a fluke, or the result of the Pistons' defensive system crumbling?
