After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Hawks pulled away from the Bucks 111-92. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
