After Action Report

The Bucks held off the Hornets 103-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Bucks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Bucks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bucks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
