The Bulls battled hard all game against the Bucks and were right there in the final minutes, but in the end there was too much Giannis Antetokounmpo and Eric Bledsoe in a 124-115 victory for Milwaukee.
This was a wild game for both good and bad reasons. Both teams were exceptionally sloppy with the ball, with the Bulls coughing it up 20 times and the Bucks turning it over 22 times. The Bulls poured in a season-high 18 3-pointers compared to a dreadful 6-of-33 showing for the Bucks.
However, the Bucks made up for the 36-point disparity from beyond the arc by attacking the rim ferociously, which resulted in a whopping 70 points in the paint and 47 free-throw attempts (34 makes).
