After Action Report
The Bucks squeaked past the Trail Blazers 107-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
