After Action Report
The Bucks handled the Wizards 98-87. The Bucks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Bucks; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bucks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
