Milwaukee vs. Chicago: Giannis Comes Up Big, Then Way Short

This might be the most disappointing defeat of the season thus far. On Wednesday night at the United Center, the Bucks— without both Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton—coughed up an 11-point lead in the final three minutes, falling to the Bulls for the second time this season 119-113 in overtime. Giannis Antetokounmpo tied a season-high with 45 and set a new one with 22 rebounds, but made several critical mistakes down the stretch that may have ultimately cost his team a win. DeMar DeRozan poured in 42 for Chicago.

After a sluggish start, Chicago turnovers fueled an 11-0 Milwaukee run midway through the first to put them ahead 20-16 at the 4:21 mark.
