Why Bucks vs Bulls Is A Very Important Game

There’s an old saying that goes “any port in a storm.” I’m sure it has less savory applications, but the idea is always the same: when things get tough, you take what you can get. Things might not yet be tough...but it’s getting there.

In a couple of days, the Milwaukee Bucks will visit home for a single matchup against the Chicago Bulls, and despite the two team’s very different trajectories this season, the game is a pretty important one. Not necessarily because of the opponent, but because of the timing. Just take a look at the Bucks’ schedule from Halloween to the week before Thanksgiving:

That’s a two-game road trip, a very important home game, and then a 4- and 3-game slate where Milwaukee is the visitor, all sandwiched around this Bulls game.
