After Action Report

The Bucks survived the Pacers 106-102. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bucks. The Bucks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bucks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
