Detroit Pistons vs Milwaukee Bucks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 22, 2025

The market total of 245.5 set a cautious bar for a Pistons–Bucks matchup, but Detroit's offense came out swinging early in a 129–116 road victory that finished just shy of the number. Combined scoring in the first quarter totaled 56 points, below the opening-night pace needed to clear the line, yet the Pistons immediately signaled intent with 30 points of their own while holding Milwaukee to 26. Detroit's early aggression proved foundational: Cade Cunningham distributed the offense with 10 assists alongside 29 points and 8 rebounds, setting a tone that would define the night.

The second quarter proved decisive. Combined output surged to 65 points—the second-highest frame—as Detroit tacked on 39 to Milwaukee's 26, extending their advantage. The third quarter delivered the game's busiest stretch, a combined 68-point barrage that kept the pace elevated even as Milwaukee (33 points) clawed back. By the fourth, both teams had spent their offensive capital: only 56 combined points fell, a sign of fatigue or defensive resolve, as Detroit's 25 trailed their quarter-one output. Ryan Rollins led the Bucks with 24 points and 7 assists, while Bobby Portis Jr. chipped in 18 and 7 rebounds, but neither could offset the Pistons' balanced attack. Jalen Duren (19 points, 6 rebounds) and Tobias Harris (18 points) complemented Cunningham's playmaking. The final combined total of 245 missed the over by 0.5, a razor-thin difference in a game where Detroit's depth proved the difference.
