The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Heavy will have the Bucks-Pistons playoff schedule as soon as the NBA releases it after the regular season games have been completed. The Bucks will begin their championship quest on Sunday, April 12 at 7 p.m. Eastern on TNT.
Milwaukee has already made plans for the start of the playoffs. Even without a ticket, fans can still head down to the area surrounding the Fiserv Forum for festivities during the game. NBA.com detailed the Bucks postseason plans.
Those who aren’t attending a game can still come to Deer District and party with fellow Bucks fans on the plaza, in The Beer Garden and throughout the Entertainment Block. For each game of the First Round – home or away – a 40-foot high TV will be placed on the plaza for fans to watch each game, in addition to the outdoor TV already in place in The Beer Garden.
There also will be food, games, a DJ, retail shops, contests to win playoff tickets and more set up on the plaza, turning it into a must-be spot for Bucks Playoff action. Activities on the plaza in front of Fiserv Forum will open two hours prior to each home playoff game and one hour before each road game.
The Bucks swept the season series with the Pistons 4-0. Milwaukee won three of the four games by double digits. Antetokounmpo posted 21 points, 11 assists and three steals in their last matchup against the Pistons.
