After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks snuck past the Cavaliers 138-136 in triple overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. Cavaliers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bucks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

  • Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
