After Action Report
The Bucks buried the Trail Blazers 121-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. The Bucks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
