After Action Report
The Bucks handled the Celtics 100-88. The Bucks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bucks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Bucks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

- Bucks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
