After Action Report
The Bucks shocked the Cavaliers 111-97. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bucks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
