After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bucks squeaked past the Lakers 121-120. The breakneck pace played right into Bucks' hands. Bucks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
