After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks shocked the Celtics 119-116. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bucks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
