Milwaukee Bucks Grades, Reactions from 106-101 Victory over Chicago Bulls
By Ti Windisch
In stark contrast to their last game, the Milwaukee Bucks took care of business against the rival Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
The Milwaukee Bucks have to be the most unpredictable team in the NBA. After getting thoroughly whomped by the Knicks in their last game, the Bucks played big all night and added another one to the Chicago Bulls’ current losing streak.
This game wasn’t a blowout by any means, but crucial play down the stretch by the entire starting five meant the win was never in true jeopardy late in the fourth quarter. That has been a rare sight for those watching these Bucks, but it’s beautiful when it does happen.
The Bucks played the style of basketball that suits them best for once, instead of kowtowing to the opposing team and playing their game. Milwaukee’s pesky efforts on defense led to a ton of steals and blocks, which in turn led to transition points.

Chicago scored four points via the fast break. Milwaukee added 17 that way. And as everybody who has ever seen him play knows, there’s not much more dangerous in the NBA than Giannis Antetokounmpo on a fast break.
It wasn’t just Giannis though. We’ll get to some other players and how they flourished against the Bulls in the grades section. But first, reactions.
