After Action Report
In Milwaukee, the Bucks held off the Trail Blazers 104-98. Bucks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Bucks pushed the pace until the other side broke; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
