All the ingredients for a Milwaukee Bucks loss were there on Wednesday night, But they had one thing working in their favor: Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart was called for a flagrant foul 2 and ejected when he tugged Antetokounmpo down by the jersey late in the third quarter. That play proved pivotal as the Bucks outscored the Pistons 38-24 in the quarter and erased an 18-point deficit.
