  • Both Bucks two-way players (Sean Kilpatrick and Joel Bolomboy) are active tonight. Rashad Vaughn and D.J. Wilson inactive (coach’s decision).

  • No changes to Bucks starting lineup tonight. It remains Bledsoe, Middleton, Snell, Giannis, Henson. Timberwolves playing second game of a back to back following OT win over the Nuggets last night. Teague out with MCL sprain.

  • Bucks will debut new “Cream City” uniform in Chicago vs the Bulls on Jan 28 before wearing them for the first time at home on Jan 29. They’ll wear them 13 times this season. twitter.com/bucks/status/9…

  • Our City. Our Color. Our Uniform.

  • "We're a young team learning how to play at a high level with expectations that are too high." - Jason Kidd twitter.com/Matt_Velazquez…

  • Jason Kidd obviously frustrated in postgame. Mentioned being young and @eric_nehm questioned when they’d be past that. Said it’s the truth and no one in the locker has won anything and they’re learning. Going to be an up and down team & dealing with too-high expectations.

  • Dunn and Middleton both T'd up and ejected.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 3:19:48 AM
  • Middleton and Dunn get tangled up and both go to the ground. Refs will check this out. Bulls on the way to a win, up 115-106, with 16.9 seconds left.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 3:18:21 AM
  • Bucks have reached the 20 turnover mark. Middleton has 4, Giannis has 4, Bledsoe 3.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 3:08:57 AM
  • Bucks getting good look off a set that utilizes Giannis' gravity to set up open 3's. Snell made one, Middleton missed one.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 3:07:57 AM
  • My bad. It was 103-94. Fat fingers — Christmas dinner went straight to the digits, apparently. Now it's 103-97 after a Snell 3. twitter.com/AllTheBucks/st…
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 3:06:41 AM
  • Bledsoe has a 3 rim out them Mirotic catches nothing but net on the other end. Bucks down, 103-84, with 4:53 left as Jason Kidd calls timeout. Milwaukee at risk of getting swept at home by Chicago.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 3:02:49 AM
  • Bledsoe with a giveaway and the Bucks have tied a season-high with 17 turnovers. Milwaukee gets lucky as Mirotic misses a corner 3 in transition and Jason Kidd calls timeout after Brogdon secured the rebound. Bucks trail, 98-92, with 7:00 left.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:56:57 AM
  • Mirotic makes a pair of FTs and with 7:44 left the Bulls have their largest lead at 6. Bucks haven't been able to get stops with any regularity, making this deficit feel larger.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:55:37 AM
  • Giannis back in after a short break, replacing Maker. Giannis at center lineup, engaged.

  • And by 3rd I means 4th... twitter.com/Matt_Velazquez…
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:50:33 AM
  • Bucks open the 3rd with Delly, Liggins, Brogdon, Giannis and Maker.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:47:42 AM
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo with the literal floor vision! #NBAVote

  • At the end of the 3rd and Bucks and Bulls are tied at 83. Giannis leads all scorers with 24 points and Bledsoe has 18. Giannis played whole 3rd quarter. Five Bulls players in double figures. Bucks with 15 turnovers (2 shy of tying season high). Bulls just 6 giveaways.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:46:36 AM
  • Giannis — from the floor — bounces a pass to a cutting Brogdon for a layup. That's new.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:43:32 AM
  • Bucks and Bulls tied at 76 with 2:36 left in the 3rd with a pair of Tony Snell FTs pending. Bucks have 15 turnovers tonight, 2 short of tying their season high. Milwaukee 3-0 when committing exactly 15 turnovers, 0-3 when committing any more than that.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:39:01 AM
  • Thon Maker with some great help defense and a swat of Mirotic that landed in the Bucks' bench. Haven't seen that much from him this year.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:37:10 AM
  • I believe the words that did it on the technical for Henson were "That's horse💩, man."
    by eric_nehm via twitter retweeted by Matt_Velazquez 12/27/2017 2:35:36 AM
  • John Henson called for a foul going for a rebound against Robin Lopez. Assumed the whistle was for a foul on RoLo. Was bewildered/angry when he found out the call went against him and was T'd up.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:35:30 AM
  • Bucks doing their "play the starters most/all of the third quarter but barely make up any ground" routine. We've seen this show before.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:33:20 AM
  • A couple nifty looks on the past couple trips by the Bucks. First Giannis drive and dish to Bledsoe for a 3 then Bledsoe to Henson in the lane for an and-1. Bucks still trail, 70-68, with 6:09 left in the 3rd and the Henson FT pending.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:28:34 AM
  • Bledsoe with a pass to Henson, who wasn't looking, and it leads to a 3 at the other end. Bucks already at their season average with 13 turnovers with more than 9 minutes left in the 3rd.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:23:19 AM
  • Eric Bledsoe, who is carrying four fouls, out on the court to start the 2nd half. Bucks down 56-53.

  • The Bucks average 13.0 turnovers per game, the lowest number in the league. They've already committed 10 tonight, leading to 14 Bulls points. A bunch of sloppy plays and passes, including a bunch by Khris Middleton who had 3 first-half turnovers.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:17:50 AM
  • Bulls end the 2nd quarter on an 8-0 run and lead the Bucks, 56-53, at halftime. Giannis has 18 points on 7/10 shooting, Bledsoe has 4 fouls, Bucks 3/13 on 3's.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:04:19 AM
  • Bucks have missed 3 FTs in a row — 2 by Snell and 1 by Middleton. Don't see those guys miss often, let alone consecutively.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 2:00:27 AM
  • Lopez T'd up. He'd been asking for one for awhile.
    by K.C. Johnson via twitter retweeted by Matt_Velazquez 12/27/2017 1:59:58 AM
  • Bledsoe with a bad foul on Valentine, his fourth with 3:09 left in the 2nd quarter. Valentine had him beat baseline and instead of letting him go Bledsoe grabbed him.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/27/2017 1:57:09 AM
  • Now Giannis with 3 fouls with 4:42 left in the 1st half. Not a great development for Milwaukee with Giannis and Bledsoe in foul trouble.
