As far as the direct impact goes, DeRozan put an arrow through the Bucks. The Bulls leading scorer shined bright putting up 41 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. Zach Lavine and Vucevic were also great support players to DeMar. While Lavine soared to 20 points, Vucevic added a valuable 24 points and 13 rebounds. The Bulls now are in the driver’s seat as they head to Chicago sharing one game each.
Unsurprisingly, Giannis Antetokounmpo almost stole the game away from the Bulls. The Greek Freak added 33 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 blocks to the mix. Bucks center Brook Lopez dominated with his size as well. He put up 25 points and 6 rebounds in the losing effort. But Middleton and Holiday couldn’t produce big as the Bulls’ ‘Big 3’ outshined their rivals.
