After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks survived the Pistons 118-113. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Bucks stayed locked in; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
