After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks survived the Nets 97-95. Ugly basketball, but the Bucks did just enough. Bucks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
