After Action Report
The Bucks outlasted the Rockets 104-97. Bucks torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
