Milwaukee Bucks: Feasting on second effort opportunities

Over the last two years, everything for the Milwaukee Bucks starts on the defensive end.

Stemming from the San Antonio Spurs background of Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer, Milwaukee has framed all facets of their identity through the defensive side of the ball and it subsequently permeates everything they do moving forward down the court.

There are countless examples that point to these tenets the Bucks live by, but none greater than largely forgoing chasing down offensive rebounds in favor of getting back and setting up their defense.

By raw counting numbers, the Bucks have ranked 25th in pulling down offensive rebounds for both the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.
