The Chicago Bulls may have enjoyed a brief dalliance with relevancy to start this season, but the Milwaukee Bucks, courtesy of their 127-106 win Tuesday evening, provided a cold, harsh reminder that the team to the south is leagues away from their divisional foe up I-94.
Milwaukee’s offensive repertoire in the initial period didn’t even feature a shot attempt from Giannis Antetokounmpo, and yet they still led 26-20 at the conclusion of the first. By halftime, the Bucks led 58-46 after they poked holes repeatedly in a Bulls defense that couldn’t find a way to stop their penetration.
