Your Chicago Bulls roared back from a brutal first quarter to keep things interesting and Nikola Vucevic was surprisingly aggressive late, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in tonight’s opening game of the two Central Division clubs’ quarterfinals matchup. The Bucks won a low-scoring affair at home, 93-86, as Zach LaVine played in his first-ever postseason game.
Chicago had a rough start, making its first playoff appearance since the “Three Alphas” suffered a 2017 first-round loss to the Celtics. The Bucks kicked off the proceedings with a 9-0 run in first 1:33 of game action, capped off with a 27-foot Giannis three!
