After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks snuck past the Mavericks 97-96. The Bucks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Bucks; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
