After Action Report
In Milwaukee, the Bucks rolled past the Trail Blazers 105-84. Bucks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Bucks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
