After Action Report
The Bucks outlasted the Trail Blazers 102-89. Bucks' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Second-chance points piled up for the Bucks; the Bucks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
