In addition to the game between Washington and Danny Abdia, no less than nine games were played tonight (Monday through Tuesday) in the NBA.
In focus: Brooklyn and Milwaukee were surprised and the explosion of Trey Young did not help Atlanta.
Milwaukee Bucks - Detroit Pistons 115: 106.
The champion hoped to achieve a seventh straight win, but was greatly surprised by the team from the bottom of the Eastern table.
Sadiq Bay led the winner with 34 points, 8 rebounds and 8 three-pointers en route to only their third away win of the season.
31 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists by Yannis Antocompo did not help.

Portland Trail Blazers - Atlanta Hawks 131: 136.
How unfortunate that such huge displays do not end in victory.
Trey Young bombed 56 points and 14 assists tonight on his way to a new career high, which as mentioned somehow was not enough for the Hawks to win.
Anfrani Simmons scored 43 points on the winning side that did the job, Norman Powell (26) and Nasir Little (22) added.
