The Milwaukee Bucks led virtually from start to finish as they crushed the Chicago Bulls 126-98 at Fiserv Forum Tuesday night.  The Bulls hung close early tying the score at 20-20 with a little more than three minutes left in the first quarter.  Milwaukee then went on a 13-0 run to close out the quarter. 

 

The Bucks took a commanding 26 point-lead late in the second quarter before Chicago went on a 10-0 run to finish the half down 59-43.

 

The Bulls would get within 11 points after halftime but Milwaukee pulled away to a 91-69 lead after three quarters with a fall-away jumper by Jrue Holiday to close out the quarter.

 

Playing without Khris Middleton due to an injury, Holiday led the Bucks with 27 points and seven assists, while Giannis Antetokounmpo added 25 points with 17 rebounds.

   

The Bulls (42-30), currently 5th in the Eastern Conference, were led by Nikol Vucevic with 22 points.   

 

Milwaukee (45-27) will now host the Washington Wizard on Thursday with tipoff at 7 pm from Fiserv Forum.
