MILWAUKEE – The Bucks can run with the Bulls.
Both came into Friday’s NBA Cup pool play game sprinting at about the same pace this season.
The Bucks can score with the Bulls.
The Bulls were seventh in the league in that category (120.4 points per game), while Milwaukee was a tick behind at 119.9 per game.
The difference between the two? One has a Giannis.
Thanks to perennial MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo and his season-high 41 points to go along with 15 rebounds and nine assists, the home team handed the Bulls (6-2) their second loss of the season, as well as dropping them to 1-1 in Group C Cup play 126-110.
