Everyone’s favorite is back, preseason basketball, baby! The Milwaukee Bucks opened up their debut in the beautiful Fiserv Forum with a 116-82 victory throttling over the visiting Chicago Bulls.
Albeit a preseason tilt, Milwaukee’s new system implemented under new head coach Mike Budenholzer looked fluid and effective, much like the teams he coached in Atlanta. From the onset, the Bucks were firing away offensively and clicking on all cylinders. The Bucks raced out to a 20-point halftime lead, highlighted by the performance of point guard Eric Bledsoe who finished with 16 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists in only 21 minutes.
