Looking calm and collected, the Milwaukee Bucks exhibited a strong performance to breeze by the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
After two straight wins against the Phoenix Suns and the Brooklyn Nets, the Milwaukee Bucks continued to play well under Joe Prunty, taking care of business with a blowout win against the less talented Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
Malcolm Brogdon missed another game with right calf soreness, but the team did not need him to exact revenge on Chicago after two frustrating losses to them earlier this season.
The victory was keyed by strong three-point shooting from role players and steals on errant Bulls’ passes through active team defense.
Giannis Antetokounmpo struggled early, but bounced back to dominate on the offensive end, particularly in leading bench units to successful runs. Khris Middleton was a steady and versatile force, but Eric Bledsoe shot poorly and lacked his usual attacking mentality.
