NBA.com has reported that the Chicago Bulls were able to get a win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a game-high 24 points, but it was not enough to propel the Bucks to a victory. Justin Holiday led the Bulls in scoring with 21 points while Bobby Portis led all players in rebounds with 10. The Milwaukee Bucks now stands at 0-3 while the Chicago Bulls have a record of two wins and one loss.
Antetokounmpo scores 24 in preseason debut
Giannis Antetokounmpo played his first NBA preseason game the other night against the Chicago Bulls, and he put in a show.
Despite the loss, Giannis was still able to contribute 24 points, four rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Giannis shot the ball at an amazing rate with 70 percent from the field making seven of his 10 shots and sinking nine of his 13 free throw attempts. Giannis and the Milwaukee Bucks are looking like a very solid contender in the east this upcoming season, but we can only wait and see if they have enough firepower to take down the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Greg Monroe played a solid game despite the loss
Greg Monroe looked very good the other day against the Chicago Bulls. Monroe's contract is expiring after this season, so Greg has to put in the work in order for him to acquire some interests from other NBA teams.
Monroe contributed 10 points and five rebounds while making four of his seven field goal attempts. For the past years, the Bucks are still having a hard time deciding whether to play Greg Monroe or John Henson as their primary center. With Monroe's contract expiring, we will soon see who the Milwaukee Bucks will hold on too.
Bobby Portis records a double-double
Bobby Portis had a great game the other day against the Milwaukee Bucks. He contributed 15 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and one block. He shot 66.7 percent from the field making six of his nine field goal attempts and making two of his four three-point shots. Bobby Portis will have plenty of playing time next season for him to show how good he already is and how good he can be.
The Chicago Bulls are looking to rebuild this season after Jimmy Butler's departure a couple of months ago.
Holiday hits five three-pointers
Justin Holiday put on a shooting clinic from beyond the arc against the Milwaukee Bucks. He made five of his seven three-point shots while shooting 42.9 percent from the field. He contributed 21 points, four rebounds, three assists, and two steals for the Chicago Bulls. If Holiday can continue to play consistently well this upcoming season, he may have himself a breakout season.
