After Action Report
The Bucks survived the Trail Blazers 95-91. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bucks. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
