But again the Bucks were dominated on the boards, 57-45, as (Byron) Mullens and Bobcats center Bismack Biyombo each grabbed 14.

“We know we have a lack of size in there,” (Scott) Skiles said. “It’s not like we’re going to get every defensive rebound or we’re never going to give up an offensive rebound.

“We simplified it to: Are we even making an attempt to jump for the ball? I don’t think that’s a high bar; I really don’t.”

The Bucks had great trouble controlling Mullens, who showed great range while hitting 14 of 23 shots and playing 43 minutes.
