After Action Report
In Milwaukee, the Bucks pulled away from the Lakers 102-89. Bucks' defense smothered the Lakers all night. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
