After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Bucks survived the Hornets 105-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bucks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Bucks. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bucks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bucks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
