After Action Report
The Bucks buried the Rockets 108-80. The Bucks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bucks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

- Bucks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
