Too many turnovers

It’s always tough to win a game if you don’t take care of the ball when you have possession, and on Tuesday night the Bucks showed new levels of carelessness.

While the Bulls only committed a total of seven turnovers, the Bucks produced a season-high 20 turnovers which went a long way to allowing Chicago to finish the game having attempted 20 more field goal attempts.

The Bucks’ big three were all culpable, with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton logging four turnovers each and Eric Bledsoe giving it away three times.

Milwaukee didn’t necessarily have a good shooting night, but they shot better than the Bulls managed to. Understanding their own limitations, the Bulls push a fast pace to ensure as many scoring opportunities as possible. On Tuesday, the Bucks decided to provide them with a host of extra chances too.
