After Action Report
The Bucks blew the doors off the Cavaliers 117-96. Bucks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Bucks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Bucks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
