The Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo took down the Detroit Pistons on Friday night to secure the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference. They will now take on the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the playoffs.

The Milwaukee Bucks delivered the final blow to Detroit's hopes--if indeed there were such hopes--of moving up in the Eastern Conference standings on Friday, topping the upstart Pistons by a 125-119 score in Detroit. The win secures Milwaukee's spot as the No. 5 seed in the conference, while the Pistons will remain at No. 6.

Milwaukee has made a determination on the status of its superstar Giannis Antetotkounmpo ahead of a critical Detroit clash.
