After Action Report
The Bucks squeaked past the Magic 101-98. The Bucks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Bucks stayed locked in; Bucks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
