After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Bucks 104-100. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Bucks locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
