Before the Pistons showcased their defensive power, they first displayed their concept of offense.
As Popovich's leader, Brown's most distinctive feature on offense was the philosophy of "one more pass".
They created another easy scoring opportunity for Big Ben through five passes.
Then, with the same passing tactic, they allowed Prince to take a three-pointer from the outside. Although it was a miss, Big Ben grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it out to Billups.
Billups hit a three-pointer with an outstretched hand.
Responding for the Bucks was Michael Redd.
In Ray Allen's absence, the starting shooting guard position had always been his. Redd had seized the opportunity, averaging 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists per game since December, with shooting percentages of 45+40+85.
Although this was just under a month's sample size, he had indeed proven he could be 80% or even 90% of Ray Allen's substitute.
