After Action Report

The Bucks blew the doors off the Suns 122-79. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. Bucks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
