After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Rockets survived the Bucks 108-107. Rockets' offense had its way with the Bucks. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Bucks locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
