<p>So much for a winning streak. The Detroit Pistons were looking to sustain some momentum from a Thursday night win over Charlotte against the visiting Milwaukee Bucks. Instead, Detroit lost by a final score of 113-97. </p>
<p>All five of Milwaukee's starters scored in double figures. <span>Drew Gooden</span> had 26 points, five rebounds and eight assists to lead the team. <span>Brandon Jennings</span> had 20 points and 10 assists. </p>
<p><span>Brandon Knight</span> led the Pistons with 25 points. He also had five rebounds and eight assists in the effort. <span>Ben Gordon</span> had 24 points, and <span>Greg Monroe</span> had a double-double with 10 rebounds and 16 points. Unfortunately for the Pistons, no other player could muster more than seven points. </p>
<p>Detroit has seven games left in the regular season, a tough stretch of games that starts with a Sunday matchup against Eastern Conference-leading Chicago. </p>

<p>The Detroit Pistons will face the playoff desperate Milwaukee Bucks in Detroit on Friday.</p> <p>The playoffs were pretty much a pipe dream from the start for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/">Detroit Pistons</a>. They started the season with some of the worst basketball that Detroit has ever seen and, though they've improved in the past few months, couldn't make up for the tough start and are now officially eliminated.</p>
<p>The Milwaukee Bucks aren't in quite as bad a situation, but after losing to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">New York Knicks</a> on Wednesday they have their work cut out for them if they want to make the playoffs in that eighth seed. At 28-30, the Bucks are now two games behind the Knicks with eight games remaining with their new look squad (featuring <span>Monta Ellis</span>) losing two straight games.</p>
<p>The Bucks are desperate and facing a Pistons team that destroyed the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/charlotte-bobcats">Charlotte Bobcats</a> in their last game thanks to an explosion of offense by <span>Greg Monroe</span>. On the road against a team with a bit more confidence than they may have had earlier in the season, the Bucks could have a hard time getting more ground in the playoff race.</p>
<p>The game will be at The Palace of Auburn Hills at 8:00 p.m. ET.</p>
