Bucks are 48-30. Bulls are 45-33.
Steven A. Smith says Giannis is not going to be the League MVP, this year. Devin Booker, Embiid or Djokic will be. Whatever! Lots of anti Giannis, jealousy out there. Too many announcers seem to think Giannis should be playing in a bigger market than Milwaukee. Too effin' bad!
Grayson Allen comes into the game and gets booed! Then he scores and gets booed again! Chicago fans are consistent, for sure!
Three's are starting to drop, for the Bucks, as they lead by 9, 22-23.
Giannis with 2 fouls.
Bucks up 26-20, at the end of the 1st quarter. Giannis has not shot the ball, yet.
Grayson Allen makes a shot as he was falling out of bounds! Fouled and makes the FT.
Matthews with a 3 and then a Technical foul on Portis. Portis got hit on the side of his face just prior to Matthews draining his 3. Bucks up by 17, 47-30 with 4:04 left in the 2nd Quarter.
Bucks got it to 18, but lead cut to 12 at the break. Giannis with only 5 points and 3 fouls. At least two of the calls were tap fouls.
Halftime. Bucks up 58-46. Looking dominant, so far, but here comes the 3rd Quarter...
The third quarter, also known as the, âhang on to your knickers, Bucks fansâ quarter.
Stephen A Smith is a ðĪĄ
DeRozan showing up for the Bulls with 29 points.
Bucks, especially Giannis, have gotten really sloppy and the Bulls have cut a 20 point lead to 10.
Bulls within 10 after being down 21, thanks to DeRosan putting the Bulls on his back.
Giannis takes his first FT with 57.2 left in the 3rd Quarter.
Bucks up by 14 at the end of the 3rd Quarter.
Bucks back up to 14 to end the quarter.
DeRozan with 40 after three quarters.
Jumped in late. Looks like the Bucks are doing just enough to win. If they wanted to they could be blowing the bulls out of the gym.
Giannis has two FTs with a chance to put the Bucks up 18. He missed both and then Chicago goes 5-0 to get it to 11.

Giannis and Middleton with very mediocre games so far.
Giannis gets called for another weak foul. It's like the officials have it out for him tonight.
Bucks up 15 with Giannis going to the bench.
If Middleton's foul two games ago was a flagrant two, that Vucevic foul has to be a flagrant 2 as well.
Bulls going after Allen. Not that he doesn't deserve it.
A" hostile act" on Allen by Vucevic. Technical foul on Vucevic. Offensive foul on Lopez for doing something?
Terrible pass by Jrue.

So they just give him a technical? How?
Officials must be really popular with the TV ratings guys tonight.
Giannis, Middleton, and DeRozan all with 5 fouls with 7 minutes left in the game.
DeRozan fouls Portis. His 5th. Giannis also has 5 fouls.
If the Bucks win does this wrap up the division?
This ones over. Goodnight guys.

I don't know. All the pundits talked about was the Eastern Conference standings.
Lopez with his 28th point.
Milwaukee empties its bench.
Bucks win 127-106.
Bucks win a game that was never less than double figures in the second half.
Giannis only played 24 minutes and went 18-9-7. It probably cost him any chance for the league MVP, but getting a game where Lopez looked like an All-Star and Giannis didn't play the last 10 minutes of the 4th quarter is a huge plus.
Bucks are now 35-10 in games where the Big 3 play.
Assuming Lopez stays healthy this Milwaukee team will be a tough out.
As for Chicago, they are now something like 2-20 against playoff caliber teams in the East.
Looks like Bulls will end up as the 6 seed. I'm sure behind the scenes Bud is trying to figure out a way to get the 3 seed.
four games.
