After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks snuck past the Celtics 117-113. Bucks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Bucks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bucks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
