After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks ran roughshod over the Spurs 132-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. The Bucks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bucks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

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.
  • Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
