Milwaukee Bucks beat the Detroit Pistons in Game 1 of their first round playoff series on Sunday, 121-86. The Pistons had to play without Blake Griffin, who is currently battling a knee issue.
Detroit, who is always slated to struggle against the team with the best record in the NBA, had a hard time matching up with Giannis Antetokounmpo and his teammates.
The game was a rout, and it no Bucks player played more than 28 minutes. A good example of the kind of dominance that Milwaukee had over Detroit on Sunday came halfway through the third quarter as Antetokounmpo got loose on a break.
The Greek Freak pulled a Michael Jordan and dunked in-game with a free throw line slam.

1) His last dribble.
2) His plant foot for the leap.
Good luck. pic.twitter.com/ClD4Swwcze
That’s legit even if his foot was just inside the free-throw line itself.
Detroit doesn’t have much of a chance against Milwaukee, and this series will be a showcase of Antetokounmpo ability and readiness to take on responsibilities of a deep playoff run.
