You don’t often get to enjoy a crushing of the Chicago Bulls that didn’t require even a single solid performance from a star, but the Milwaukee Bucks seem to be so far ahead of their divisional opponent that they can comfortably win 127-106 despite merely 18 points from their superstar.
The Bucks didn’t even need a shot attempt from Giannis Antetokounmpo in the first quarter as they staked a 26-20 lead behind holding Chicago to just 33% shooting overall from the field. Pinpoint passing and ball movement throughout the second period helped the Bucks open up a sizable 58-43 advantage heading into halftime.
