Your Chicago Bulls are coming home for their first playoff action in the United Center in five years. And they arrive with their first-round “I-94 series” matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks astonishingly tied, 1-1, in a series that could easily have been 2-0 Bulls had Chicago not shot a paltry 32.3% from the field in Game 1 on Sunday.
The Bucks drew first blood, barely winning 93-86 Sunday, but they looked shaken by Chicago’s incredibly effective and engaged defense, and outside of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez, struggled to get much cooking on offense themselves. They shot just 40.
