The Bulls (4 - 1) knocked off the Bucks (2 - 3) 95 - 86 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Wednesday night. Playing without Joakim Noah (illness), Chicago once again turned to Taj Gibson to fill the void. And for the second straight night, Gibson did not disappoint. After scoring 16 points in Tuesday’s win over Orlando, Gibson hung 23 points and 10 rebounds on the Bucks in a game - high 44 minutes. Pau Gasol added 22 points and 14 boards, and Jimmy Butler chipped in 13 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Derrick Rose, who missed Tuesday’s contest, scored just 13 points to go with seven assists and four turnovers. The Bulls shot 47 percent from the field and 73 percent (22 - of - 30) at the free throw line. Milwaukee, looking for its first winning streak since the 2012 - 13 season, led by four at halftime but came out flat in the third quarter, allowing Chicago to regain the lead entering the final period. The teams traded baskets for most of the fourth, and a Giannis Antetokounmpo dunk - his third of the quarter - brought the Bucks to within one with 5:31 remaining. The Bulls would make a run, however, capped by a Kirk Hinrich corner three - pointer with 2:15 remaining that put Chicago up 88 - 80. The Bucks would never get back to within six, and the Bulls were able to salt the game away at the free throw line. Antetokounmpo, affectionately known as “The Greek Freak, ” led the way for Milwaukee, scoring 13 points (6 - 11 FG) in 27 minutes off the bench to go with eight boards. Khris Middleton added 11 points in 23 minutes, and Brandon Knight chipped in 10 points, 9 rebounds and seven assists as the only other Bucks player in double - figures. Milwaukee shot a paltry 37 percent from the floor and converted only 3 - of - 15 three - point attempts. Second overall pick Jabari Parker struggled from the floor (4 - 12 FG), scoring only eight points in 25 minutes. All 11 Bucks who entered the game saw at least 12 minutes of playing time. Milwaukee moves on to face the Pistons in Detroit on Friday, while the Bulls head east to take on the winless 76ers, also on Friday night.
