Ringing in the new year, the Milwaukee Bucks trounced the Chicago Bulls by thirty points. Chicago led for a few moments to start the game, but the Bucks built a sizable lead in the second quarter and never had to look back. This is the sort of performance we’re used to seeing from Milwaukee, particularly against an outmatched opponent that doesn’t have the talent to match the Bucks’ NBA Finals aspirations. It wasn’t a question of if the Bucks would win, but how convincingly.
