Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways from 110-96 win over Chicago Bulls
The Milwaukee Bucks took care of business over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday afternoon to earn their third straight victory in the Joe Prunty era.
Through three tries, the Milwaukee Bucks still remain #Prundefeated as they handled the Chicago Bulls with ease Sunday afternoon, winning 110-96.
The Bucks had to shake off plenty of rust to get to that point, however, as they were struggling to connect on multiple shot attempts in the opening minutes of the game. Luckily for them, the Bulls faced the same dilemma, only for much longer and the Bucks took advantage of that by getting out in front by the end of the first period to lead 26-20.

It was in the second quarter where the Bucks started to separate themselves from the Bulls as they caught fire from three-point range, which helped them carry a 61-42 lead going into halftime.
With that kind of cushion in their favor, the Bucks looked to have let down their guard in the first few moments of the second half.
That didn’t hold for long as the team’s leading faces such as Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton took charge to build the Bucks’ lead back well into double digits throughout the majority of the third quarter.
While the Bucks had to rely on their more prominent players longer than they would have liked as they let their foot off the gas in the final frame, their more seldom used players eventually got some late burn to put on the finishing touches to officially seal the team’s victory.
So without further ado, let’s dive deeper and look at what stood out in the Bucks’ victory over the Chicago Bulls Sunday afternoon.
