Giannis Antetokounmpo was ready to go toe-to-toe with Blake Griffin during a second-quarter flare-up between division rivals Milwaukee and Detroit. The game was turning contentious. It wouldn't stay close for long. "They're just a great defensive team and just play really physical," Antetokounmpo said. "They want to be physical, they want to be dirty. They want you to get out of your game, and whenever you come in Detroit, you expect that." Antetokounmpo scored 35 points to lift the Bucks to their 13th consecutive victory, 127-103 over the Pistons on Wednesday night. The last time the Bucks had a longer winning streak than this was when they won 16 in a row spanning the end of the 1972-73 season and the beginning of 1973-74. They also had a 13-game run shortly after that 16-game streak ended. read more https://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401160949
