After Action Report
The Bucks buried the Trail Blazers 128-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. The Bucks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bucks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bucks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
