After Action Report
The Bucks fended off the Rockets 113-107. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bucks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
