After Action Report
The Bucks outlasted the Trail Blazers 105-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. The Bucks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
