Detroit’s Unstoppable November: Pistons Dominate Bucks for 12th Straight Win
The Detroit Pistons are rewriting their own history books this November, stunning NBA fans with a relentless winning streak that hit
12 games after a decisive victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on November 22, 2025. The Bucks, missing superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, struggled to keep pace as Detroit’s young core put on a clinic in Milwaukee, finishing with a commanding
129-116 win.
Cade Cunningham Leads the Charge
Detroit’s rising star
Cade Cunningham was the engine behind the Pistons’ offense, racking up
29 points and 10 assists in a performance that showcased his growth as a franchise cornerstone. Cunningham’s ability to control the tempo and create opportunities for teammates was evident throughout the night, as the Pistons consistently found answers to Milwaukee’s defensive schemes.
Jaden Ivey and Tobias Harris also made their mark, returning to the lineup and contributing to the Pistons’ balanced attack. The team’s depth and chemistry have become their secret weapon, allowing Detroit to thrive even when facing adversity.
Bucks Falter Without Giannis
The absence of
Giannis Antetokounmpo was felt deeply by Milwaukee fans. Without their MVP, the Bucks struggled to generate consistent offense and defend Detroit’s versatile lineup. While Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard tried to rally the team, the Pistons’ defensive intensity and fast-paced play proved too much for Milwaukee to overcome.
