Milwaukee was also without Khris Middleton (right knee soreness again) and Pat Connaughton (left calf soreness), but got a huge night from Brook Lopez, who scored 33 points in 33 minutes. Jevon Carter backed him up with 22. Nikola Vucevic scored 22 to lead Chicago, who lacked All-Star DeMar DeRozan (quad strain) among others.
