    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 4:50:20 AM
  • Bulls win, 115-109. Bucks went 3/17 on 3's in the 2nd half and couldn't stop the Bulls from cleaning the glass on the way to 24 second-chance points.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 3:28:49 AM
  • Play out of the timeout results in Rashad Vaughn missing a wide open 3. Repeat, the play out of the timeout went to Rashad Vaughn.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 3:24:13 AM
  • Bucks needed a stop. Instead Rashad Vaughn fouled Mirotic, who got a tough layup to fall. Makes the FT. Bulls back up 5 with 1:07 to play.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 3:21:19 AM
  • Huge block by Giannis against Mirotic at the rim and Middleton is fouled on a 3 at the other end by Kris Dunn who has fouled out. Bucks down 109-104 with 1:24 left pending FTs.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 3:19:49 AM
  • Vaughn wide open corner 3 doesn't go. Bucks 9/29 on 3's tonight.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 3:18:15 AM
  • Eric Bledsoe with his 5th turnover of the game and it leads to a Nikola Mirotic 3 with 2:42 left that puts the Bulls up 109-104. Kidd calls timeout.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 3:16:41 AM
  • Rashad Vaughn 3 from Bledsoe then Bledsoe pushes off a Mirotic miss and it ends with a Middleton layup. Bucks lead, 100-98, with 5:01 left. Bulls timeout.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 3:07:44 AM
  • Giannis at center lineup incoming. He's joined by Bledsoe, Brogdon, Vaughn and Middleton.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 3:03:11 AM
  • Bobby Portis with an offensive rebounds — Chicago's 13th — and puts it back to give the Bulls 24 second-chance points and a 92-89 lead. Jason Kidd calls timeout with 8:11 left to get Giannis back in.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 3:01:39 AM
  • Everyone looking to Middleton here in the 4th. Little to no ball movement. Giannis waiting to check in with Bucks down 3.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:59:54 AM
  • Khris Middleton, who started 1/6 from 3, hits arguably his toughest attempt so far with a man in his face.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:56:48 AM
  • Game all tied up at 82 heading into the 4th quarter. Bucks closed 3rd on a 5-0 run. Giannis leads Milwaukee with 25 points.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:52:44 AM
  • Rough night for Middleton from deep. Just 1-6 on the night.

  • They did that...and fell further behind somehow. Then Kidd went to the bench to give Bledsoe some rest. twitter.com/WestleyBill/st…
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:50:06 AM
  • No offensive flow/consistency from the Bucks so far here in the 3rd as they trail the Bulls, 80-75. They're 8/18 from the floor and 1/7 on 3's. Struggling to finish off defensive possessions, too.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:47:40 AM
  • Bucks 1/6 on 3's in the 2nd half. Generally getting good looks.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:42:24 AM
  • Bucks pushing back after falling behind by 7. Getting stops, including a turnover by Justin Holiday who stepped out of bounds. Bulls lead, 74-71, with 5:40 left in the 3rd but Bucks will inbound after the timeout.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:38:48 AM
  • Middleton and Brogdon have each gotten open, good looks from three in the second half, they just haven't gone in.
    by eric_nehm via twitter retweeted by Matt_Velazquez 12/16/2017 2:36:45 AM
  • Giannis with is beloved 3pt attempt right off the side out of bounds. Splashes it (this time).
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:32:52 AM
  • Kris Dunn started the game 0 for 4. He's made 5 in a row since.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:29:46 AM
  • John Henson reaches to try to break up a pass inside and he picks up his 4th foul with 10:34 left in the 3rd.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:29:13 AM
  • I can't remember the last time I heard the song, "Gasolina," which is playing now at the @BMOHBC . Can't say I'm complaining. That song was on a 🔥 playlist I had about a dozen years ago.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:15:56 AM
  • Bulls with 9 offensive rebounds and 15 second-chance points. Just killing the Bucks on the boards. Both teams struggling from the FT line. Bucks 10/17 & Bulls 10/18.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:14:24 AM
  • At the half the Bulls lead the Bucks, 59-58. Giannis leads Milwaukee with 16 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists. Eric Bledsoe has 10 points but also responsible for 3 turnovers.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:12:33 AM
  • Thon Maker gets caught by a Jerian Grant pump fake and now he and John Henson each have 3 fouls prior to halftime.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:11:15 AM
  • That's a large number. twitter.com/eric_nehm/stat…
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:06:51 AM
  • Bulls meeting no resistance on drives and cleaning the glass on the offensive end on the way to tying the game at 56 with 2:38 til half. Jason Kidd asks for time.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:06:29 AM
  • Thon Maker vs. the pick and roll 😞
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:05:31 AM
  • John Henson with his 3rd foul of the half and here comes Thon Maker.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 2:02:39 AM
  • Bucks go back to lineup with four starters + Rashad Vaughn and unsurprisingly go on a quick spurt to take a 48-45 lead and coax a Bulls timeout with 5:19 left in the first half.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:58:55 AM
  • Solid 6 minutes from Sterling Brown. Held his own on D and hit his only shot, a corner 3.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:57:11 AM
  • John Henson and Rashad Vaughn too busy backpedalling to get back on D to notice the rebound had rolled way out. Henson breaks too late and fouls Mirotic. Close to a clear-path foul, but remains a common foul after review.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:52:58 AM
  • He's been matched up with Jerian Grant a couple times and seems to take it as a personal affront. twitter.com/eric_nehm/stat…
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:50:48 AM
  • Maker with a corner 3. Thinks about shooting another on the next possession, sees his defender and a chance at getting foul coming and throws up another but is not fouled. Airball. At the other end, everyone sinks in to defend the paint in transition and Mirotic nails a corner 3.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:49:11 AM
  • Giannis + bench unit working alright so far here in the 2nd. I assume tomorrow's game in Houston has something to do with all the bench minutes so far, but will ask about it postgame.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:46:14 AM
  • This is basically the look Giannis has had all game with the ball in his hands. Attacking every chance he gets. t.co

    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:44:28 AM
  • Sterling Brown, fresh off the bench, splashes a corner 3.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:42:01 AM
  • Now Bucks go with Brogdon, Giannis, Vaughn, Brown and Maker. Everyone getting some run.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:41:46 AM
  • Bucks trail the Bulls, 33-30, at the end of the first. Lots of bench minutes for Milwaukee as only Middleton played the whole first quarter. Stayed on with Liggins/Vaughn, Brogdon, Wilson and Maker.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:40:34 AM
  • Thon Maker bails out Jerian Grant, fouling him on a deep 3 with the shot clock running down. Yeah, you want to contest that shot, but gotta stay in control.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:36:22 AM
  • Rashad Vaughn makes a FT then cans a corner 3 to end the Bucks' offensive slump. A couple of solid defensive plays of late, too.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:35:03 AM
  • Bucks have missed 3 straight FGs & 3 straight FTs as the Bulls have gone on a 9-0 run to take a 26-22 lead with 3:24 left as Jason Kidd calls timeout.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:30:16 AM
  • Kris Dunn with a 5-0 spurt on his own and suddenly we have a tie game. The Bucks led 16-6 early Now it's 22-22.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:28:10 AM
  • D.J. Wilson with some rare early minutes, replacing Giannis.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:26:56 AM
  • That's the second time Giannis has just about dared Bobby Portis to shoot a 3 ... and the second time Portis has swished it.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:24:20 AM
  • Giannis slices through the Bulls defense for an easy layup and that's enough to get Fred Hoiberg to call timeout with 6:44 left in the first. Bucks up 19-12 having made 6/9 shots and 5/7 FTs. Each Milwaukee starter has scored with Antetokounmpo and Henson leading with 5 each.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:21:36 AM
  • Valentine and Mirotic with 2 fouls just 4 minutes into the game. #Bulls are on their heels, trailing Bucks 16-6.
    by Mike McGraw via twitter retweeted by Matt_Velazquez 12/16/2017 1:18:26 AM
  • Bucks scored at least a point on their first 6 possessions over the opening 3 1/2, with each starter getting on the board. Now John Henson with a bucket and gets the whistle. He makes the FT and Milwaukee's out to a 16-6 lead.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/16/2017 1:18:12 AM
  • Pardon the self-indulgent retweet, but for the dinner crowd - or late risers - my Q&A with #mubb guard… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
    by Ben Steele via twitter retweeted by Matt_Velazquez 12/16/2017 1:14:57 AM
  • There's already been exponentially more John Henson ball handling than I expected tonight. Bucks up 6-2 early & have scored on all 3 possessions.
