Every time the and match up, regardless of the circumstance, it is always an entertaining bout between these Central Division rivals. Even with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Cam Payne, and the highly anticipated Damian Lillard all not playing in the preseason opener, it was a close game as the Bucks were able to pull out a 105-102 victory over the Bulls.
Chicago was the aggressor early in this one, leading by as many as 14 points in the first quarter. In the early goings of the second quarter, it seemed the Bulls would run away with the game as they were shooting 7-for-15 behind the three-point line and had a 39-27 lead.
