After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the Bucks 91-89. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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 · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
