Pistons playing away 115: 130 (33:44, 23:38, 26:26, 33:22) was hopeless against Giannis Antetokounmp’s troop, allowing Dwayne Case to release Sirvydis on the field at the end of the match.
The Lithuanian appeared on the field 57 seconds before the game. Sirvydis was unable to do anything on the parquet during this time.
Sirvydis became the fourteenth Lithuanian in history to step on the NBA floor.
The Bucks decided the fate of the game during the first half of the game, gaining a 26-point lead (82:56).
After the break, the outlook on the court did not change and it was only during the last stretch of the game that the Pistons managed to avoid being crushed.
Giannis, who led the winners, scored 25 points in 28 minutes (7/10 doubles, 1/5 trit., 8/14 penalty), bounced 8 balls, made 4 assists and made 5 errors.
Before the duel, players from both teams knelt in protest at a court decision not to punish a police officer who shot a black man in Wisconsin.
Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo 25 (7/10 double, 8/14 penalty, 8 reb, 5 bl.), Chris Middleton 23 (5/6 trit.), Brook Lopez 17, Bobby Portis 16 (10 in.), Jordan Nwora 11, Jrue Holiday 10.
Pistons: Jerami Grant 31 (11/11 penalty, 10 p.m.), Saddiq Bey (6/10 trit., 10 p.m.), Wayne Ellington 12, Derrick Rose 10.
