DETROIT (AP) --- Cade Cunningham had 23 points and 12 assists and the Detroit
Pistons beat Milwaukee 124-112 on Saturday night to end the Bucks' 15-game
winning streak in Detroit.
Milwaukee came into the season with a 13-game winning streak against the
Pistons, but Detroit has won two of three this season.
Jalen Duren had 16 points and 16 rebounds for Detroit, which has won four of
five to improve to 19-5, with the only loss coming on Wednesday night in
Milwaukee. Isaiah Stewart added 19 points.
Kevin Porter Jr. had a season-high 32 points for the Bucks, who have lost 10 of
12. Kyle Kuzma added 15 points.
Detroit shot 57.1% (20-35) from the floor in the first half, including 50%
(7-14) on 3-pointers, but only built a 61-56 lead thanks to 13 turnovers that
led to 20 Milwaukee points. Cunningham had 15 points and eight assists while
Porter scored 19 on 7-8 shooting.
The Pistons started the third quarter with a 13-3 run to take a 74-59 lead, and
Milwaukee was still down by 10 going into the fourth.
The Bucks never threatened in the fourth, trailing by 25 when both teams
started emptying the benches. Pistons guard Marcus Sasser made his season
debut, having missed the first 23 games with a hip injury.

Bucks: Host Boston on Thursday night.
Pistons: Host Atlanta on Friday night.
