After Action Report
The Bucks squeaked past the Rockets 138-135 in overtime. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
