After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks squeaked past the Raptors 103-102. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bucks. The Bucks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bucks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bucks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Raptors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
