Bucks Dominate Bulls Despite Missing Giannis and Lillard

Milwaukee showcased depth and shooting prowess in a 112-91 victory while their stars were sidelined.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard missed Monday's game due to back spasms and a non-COVID illness, respectively.
Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez led the Bucks with 21 points each, while Bobby Portis added a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds.
Milwaukee's three-point shooting proved decisive, hitting 18 of 43 attempts compared to Chicago's 10 of 48.
The Bucks improved to 3-1 this season without Antetokounmpo, continuing their strong form after winning the NBA Cup last week.
The Bulls struggled offensively, with Zach LaVine noting the team's inability to capitalize on opportunities despite generating good looks.
