After Action Report
In Milwaukee, the Celtics fended off the Bucks 105-96. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bucks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Bucks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
