No Khris Middleton, no problem for Friday night’s Milwaukee Bucks, as they absolutely dismantled the Chicago Bulls on the defensive end of the court, while showing improved offensive flow en route to a decisive 111-81 win. They now have a 2-1 series advantage.
The Bucks started this game with significantly more energy on both ends of the court, nailing triples from the perimeter and providing contests on all but Vucevic’s jumpers while getting out to a 33-17 lead. They maintained that same defensive presence and kept up their shooting in the second quarter as they built a solid 60-41 advantage by half.
