After Action Report
The Bucks edged the Mavericks 105-99. The breakneck pace played right into Bucks' hands. Bucks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bucks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bucks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
