After Action Report

The Bucks snuck past the Grizzlies 104-103. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bucks. The Bucks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. 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

  • Bucks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
