Firing Pistons aim to buck losing series trend
The Straits Times
|November 23, 2025
The Detroit Pistons look to continue their early-season National Basketball Association (NBA) success on Nov 22 (Nov 23, Singapore time), bringing an 11-game winning streak to Milwaukee for their first matchup against the Bucks, who will not have superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Pistons (13-2) come in rested, having not played since their back-to-back on Nov 17 and 18 when they beat visiting Indiana Pacers 127-112 and hosts Atlanta Hawks 120-112.
"We decided to do what we do best and that's guard," Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "When we do that, it triggers our offence and gives us opportunity to create some separation."
Cade Cunningham is off to a stellar start, averaging 27.3 points and just shy of 10 assists per game. Jalen Duren has starred down low, averaging nearly 12 boards along with 20.6 points per game.
"Cade is in the heir of superstars - he thrives in that moment," Bickerstaff added. "We'll never be a one-man band. Cade is a superstar, but he's uplifted by his teammates in those moments also."
