FINAL FROM MILWAUKEE: Bucks 94, Bulls 90. (Bulls 28-16, 12-10 on the road.
LEADING SCORERS: Bulls: DeRozan (35 pts), Bucks-Antetokounmpo (35 pts)
LEADING REBOUNDERS: Bulls-Vucevic (11), Bucks- Portis (13)
LEADING ASSISTS: Bulls- Dosunmu (6), Bucks- Middleton: (6)
CCI STAT OF THE GAME: Three Bucks registered double-double games: Antetokounmpo (30pts-12reb), Middleton (16 pts- 10 reb) Portis ( 12 pts- 13 reb)
CCI RECAP: The undermanned Bulls left it on the floor but the Bucks executed at crunch time and came away with a hard fought victory in front of 18,000 in Milwaukee, many of whom wore Bulls red. Both teams struggled shooting the 3-ball.
The Bulls entered the game number one in 3-point percentage at 38% but made just seven of 38 attempts. The Bucks went 6-of-31 beyond the arc.
DeMar DeRozan was tremendous with a 35-6-3 game going 17-18 from the foul line. Nikola Vucevic recorded his 22nd double-double game of 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Coby White shoots over Bobby Portis in Milwaukee.
Bulls Head Coach Billy Donovan went with Tyler Cook as a starter and Cook battled Giannis to the very end. Matt Thomas gave the Bulls a lift off the bench draining three-three pointers.
Milwaukee's Grayson Allen was ejected in the third quarter after receiving a flagrant two foul, sending Alex Caruso to the floor on a dangerous non basketball play. Caruso crashed to the court going to the basket. The NBA needs to review that play and do more than just settle for an in game ejection. Allen needs to be suspended...just my opinion.
