After Action Report

The Bucks survived the Wizards 91-87. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bucks. The Bucks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Bucks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

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