A disappointing loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, 104-90, prevented the Bucks from taking sole possession of the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference Playoff race. That came after a stirring, gut-it-out victory against the Atlanta Hawks the Friday prior. Tonight, they buzz off to face the Charlotte Hornets, who dispatched the Phoenix Suns 120-106 this weekend.
Bucks Update
Milwaukee’s inability to stop the Bulls from hitting shots proved a depressing way to spend a Sunday. The Bucks squandered a double digit lead in the second quarter, allowing Jimmy Butler to carve through them like a charcuterie butcher, netting 14 assists in the process.
