After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Bucks 117-112. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bucks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Bucks lately. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Bucks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
