After Action Report
In Milwaukee, the Bucks shocked the Celtics 114-102. The Bucks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bucks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
