Derrick White labored in Division II for three seasons and played in 24 games in the G League last season but now is a legitimate playoff hero.

The Milwaukee Bucks had no problem keeping homecourt advantage in the first two games of their Eastern Conference playoff series, bludgeoning the eighth-seeded Detroit Pistons by an average of 28 points to take a 2-0 lead.
