Grading Milwaukee Bucks vs. Chicago Bulls Game 5: Chicago Bulls
Chicago Bulls: D
Credit to Chicago, playing without two of their starting players, they came in and tried their best. The Bulls were simply overmatched and overwhelmed by a better Milwaukee Bucks team. Despite only scoring 11 points, Demar DeRozan was 50 percent from the field and finished with seven assists and three steals. Nikola Vucevic was probably the Bulls’ best player in Game 5, recording 19 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, and two blocks while shooting effectively.
Patrick Williams, despite his struggles in Games 1 and 3 played a very good Game 5, finishing with a team-high 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting including 4-of-7 on threes. Ayo Dosunmu and Javonte Green kind of seemed like deer in the headlights, finishing a combined 4-for-19 from the field and 1-for-9 on threes.
Coby White and Troy Brown Jr. both scored in double figures off the bench, albeit not terribly effective shooting for either of them.
Injuries are part of the game and they happened to both teams during this series, but even without the injuries, the Bulls were simply no match for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in this series.
