In somewhat of a stunning collapse, the Milwaukee Bucks fell apart in the closing minutes and overtime, losing to the Chicago Bulls 118-113 in overtime. Giannis led all scorers with 45 points, but made some costly errors as the game concluded, and DeMar DeRozan nearly matched him with 42.
As they are wont to do lately, the Bucks came out cold from the field, bricking seven of their first ten shots. However, they soon found a groove in transition with their reserve-heavy units, pacing them to a 32-28 lead through one. They cooled off in the second after missing all seven of their triples, but behind 20 first-half points from Giannis, they were down just two at half, 57-55.
