The Bulls were hoping to roll into 2020 with an upset win over the mighty Bucks, but Giannis and company showed why they have the best record in the NBA in a 123-102 shellacking. The Bulls managed to keep it close for a half, only for the Bucks to flex their muscles with a 40-point third quarter to turn the final frame into extended garbage time.
It looked like the Bulls may get run off the court from the very start, going down 8-0 from the opening tip and falling behind by 11 after the first quarter thanks to some ugly shooting.
