So maybe it wasn’t a trouncing till the fourth quarter, but the Bucks eventually laid their third smackdown on the Chicago Bulls this season, 116-96. A near even first half split wide open in the second, as the Bucks terrific tandem twisted their way through Bulls’ defenders time and again.
Giannis was a stalwart in every aspect of the game, tallying 35 points on 13-19 shooting (8-11 from the line), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a career high seven blocks. Jabari Parker came on in the second half, finishing with 27 points, five rebounds, three assists and a block and steal.
