On defense, the Wizards managed to block two shots and steal the ball nine times from their opponents. Despite committing one more foul than the Bucks with a total count of twenty-one fouls, they maintained control throughout most parts of the game.


The Milwaukee Bucks put up strong numbers as well but fell short in key areas that could have turned the tide in their favor. They recorded six blocks and eight steals while assisting on thirty-one occasions which reflects their collaborative effort during playmaking sequences. However, they struggled beyond the arc with only a three-point shooting percentage standing at twenty-three percent.

Milwaukee's presence inside was notable too; they scored fifty-six points in paint but couldn't match Washington's efficiency or volume within that zone. Their bench contributed significantly by adding forty-one points to their total score.
