Bucks sweep Chicago with sloppy performance

January 21, 2020 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Bucks pulled off a four-game season series sweep over the Chicago Bulls, winning Monday evening 111-98 at Fiserv Forum.

Giannis Antetokounmpo tied his career high of eight turnovers to go along with a triple double (28 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists).

The Bucks might have had their minds elsewhere, getting ready to board a plane for Paris after the game.  They will face the Charlotte Hornets there [Read more…]

Strong second half lifts Bucks past Bulls

December 31, 2019 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Bucks didn’t play well or shoot well in the first half and went into the locker room at halftime with a narrow three-point lead over the Chicago Bulls.

The second half was different.  The Bucks busted out in the third quarter, hitting 71.4% from the field and built a 16 point lead, on the way to a
123-102 win over the Bulls at the United Center.

Khris Middleton scored a game high 25 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo returned after missing two games with back soreness to score 23 points and pull down 10 rebounds in the win.

Eric Bledsoe also returned to the Bucks lineup after missing eight games due to an avulsion fracture to his right fibula.  He was on a minutes restriction and finished with 15 points in 16 minutes.

Ersan Ilyasova had 14 points and 11 rebounds, his third straight double-double and Robin Lopez added 11 points against his former team.

The Bucks improved to an NBA best 30-5 and will host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum.

Middleton’s late three beats Chicago

November 29, 2018 By Bill Scott

Bucks down Bulls, Prunty off to 3-0 start

January 29, 2018 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Bucks knocked off the rival Chicago Bulls 110-96 on Sunday in Chicago, which means Joe Prunty is off to a 3-0 start as the Interim Head Coach of the Bucks.

Prunty shoots for his fourth straight victory tonight when the Bucks host the Philadelphia 76ers at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

The Bucks got off to a slow start on Sunday , but veteran Jason Terry came off the bench to add three straight three-point baskets late in the first quarter into the second quarter.  He finished 4-of-6 beyond the arc for a season-high 12 points.  Terry entered the game just 2-of-18 from three-point range on the season.

From that point, the Bucks increased their lead and went into the locker room at halftime with a 61-42 lead.

Giannis Antetokounmpo got hot in the second half and finished with 27 points, nine rebounds and eight assists to lead the Bucks.

The Bucks played their second straight game without Malcolm Brogdon, who is sidelined with right calf soreness.

Rookie Sterling Brown, who grew up just a short drive from the United Center, had 12 points and six rebounds.

The Bucks lost at Philadelphia on Jan. 20, 116-94 when they were without both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Malcolm Brogdon.

Former Wisconsin point guard Bronson Koenig has signed a training camp contract with the Chicago Bulls.

Koenig was released by the Milwaukee Bucks last week after signing a two-way deal in July.

Koenig averaged 5.2 points on 29% shooting over 15.8 minutes a game during the Bucks five-game Las Vegas Summer League stint.

In Chicago, Koenig will get the chance to battle for two roster spots with six other players that are also on non-guaranteed contracts.

In 36 games with the Badgers last season, Koenig averaged 14.5 points a game and hit a school-record 103 three-pointers.  As a Badger, he also played in two Final Fours, including the 2015 National title game.
