With the Cavaliers losing tonight, the Bulls were guaranteed a top-6 seed in the playoffs before their game was over. But this matchup against the Bucks was another test against a good team for Chicago, who has struggled mightily against squads of this caliber.
They failed at that, again, with another mostly non-competitive loss at a 127-106 result.
Milwaukee took control of the game in the first half and raced out to a 12 point lead at halftime. It soon ballooned up to as much as 20 in the third quarter.
With Zach LaVine out due to knee soreness, it was on DeRozan to carry the offense and that’s absolutely what he did.
