After Action Report

The Bucks handled the Pistons 115-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Bucks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
