After Action Report

The Bucks outlasted the Celtics 135-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. The Bucks came in with something to prove after a loss; Bucks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bucks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
