After Action Report
The Bucks squeaked past the Nets 115-114. The breakneck pace played right into Bucks' hands. The Bucks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bucks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
