Looking at the season series

To say the Bucks have dictated their season series with the Bulls would be an understatement.

Heading into the season series finale, the Bucks’ collective margin of victory throughout their three wins over the Bulls this season comes in at 44 points, with their most recent win being a 21-point rout back on December 30.

Milwaukee has taken full advantage of the Bulls’ many faults throughout their three contests with one another. Whether that’s been scoring the most paint points in a single game this season back on November 14 or repeatedly getting to the free throw line in their two November wins as the Bulls still rank as the top team in opponent free throw attempt rate this season, per NBA.com/stats.

That’s music to the Bucks’ ears as regularly getting to the free throw line has been a big strength in their offensive profile this season as they rank seventh in free throw attempt rate after standing 18th in that regard last year.

We’ll just have whether the Bucks’ recent hot offensive play can continue into Monday afternoon against the Bulls.
