After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks outlasted the Heat 116-104. Bucks torched the Heat on the offensive end. The Heat are in a full-on tailspin; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
