Bucks complete sweep of Pistons

Milwaukee became the second team to advance to the second round of the playoffs Monday.

The Bucks topped the Pistons 127-104 in Detroit to complete a first-round sweep, giving them their first playoff series win since 2000-01.

Giannis Antetokounmpo followed up a subpar Game 3 performance with a game-high 41 points and nine rebounds in Game 4.

Blake Griffin did all he could to keep the Pistons alive, totaling 22 points, five rebounds and six assists. But it wasn’t enough.

The Bucks advance to face the Celtics in the second round.

Boston knocked Milwaukee out of the playoffs last season in a seven-game series.

Stud of the Night

Reggie Jackson recorded a team-high 26 points and seven assists in Detroit’s loss.

Dud of the Night

Ish Smith scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting for the Pistons.

Highlight

Antetokounmpo converted a double clutch finish through contact over Andre Drummond.
