After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks outlasted the Nets 107-96. The breakneck pace played right into Bucks' hands. Bucks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bucks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bucks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bucks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
