After Action Report
The Bucks survived the Rockets 103-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Bucks; Bucks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
