The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Chicago Bulls, 116 - 96, at United Center on Saturday. The dynamic duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker were at it again for the Bucks (16 - 16), as they posted over half of the team's scoring total while each played at least 40 minutes. Their combined 23 - of - 34 effort from the field spearheaded a red - hot Milwaukee offense that drained their buckets at a 57 percent clip, and that also was successful on 60 percent of their 15 attempts from behind the arc. Meanwhile, the Bulls (16 - 18) could only get one such standout effort, which came from Jimmy Butler. The offensive imbalance ultimately left them unable to keep pace as the game wore on, and accordingly, the Bucks outscored their hosts by a 67 - 45 margin in the second half. Antetokounmpo tallied a game - high 35 points, and added nine rebounds, seven assists, seven blocks and two steals in a remarkable performance. Parker followed with 27 points, five rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block. Malcolm Brogdon continued his rapid development, as he managed 15 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds, his first career triple - double. Greg Monroe led the bench with 15 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and a pair of steals. Butler's 26 points paved the way for Chicago, and he complemented them with eight assists, seven boards and two steals. Robin Lopez provided a 12 - point, 10 - rebound double - double that also included an assist and a block. Taj Gibson contributed 11 points, five rebounds, an assist and a block. Michael Carter-Williams, who drew the start for the struggling Rajon Rondo, and Dwyane Wade both struggled, as they only supplied four and eight points, respectively. Doug McDermott (13 points, three assists, a rebound and a steal) and Nikola Mirotic (10 points, four rebounds) helped make up for some of the scoring void off the bench. The Bucks head back home to host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night, while the Bulls remain home to face the Charlotte Hornets on Monday evening as well.
