Even with Khris Middleton out, the Bulls had a really tough task ahead of them in Milwaukee against the defending champion Bucks on Tuesday night. With the Bulls playing the second of a back-to-back against a fresh Bucks team that hadn’t played since Saturday, there was a major rest disadvantage for the visitors. Still, it would have been nice to at least see a competitive game to follow up the outstanding performance against the Raptors.
Instead, the Bulls laid another massive egg against an elite team, getting absolutely worked in an ugly loss. The Bucks led by as many as 26 points in the first half and 35 for the game before settling on a 126-98 final score.
