After Action Report

The Cavaliers snuck past the Bucks 96-95. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Bucks. Whispers of a Bucks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bucks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
