Behind a 40-point masterclass from Giannis, the Bucks began their NBA Cup title defense with a 126-110 win over the Chicago Bulls.
ICYMI: here’s my rapid recap of all the action from Fiserv Forum for @brewhoop.bsky.social.
www.brewhoop.com/bucks-scores...
The lob is finally working between Rollins and Giannis.
After missing some in Toronto, Rollins finds Giannis on the short roll, with a two-hand slam.
Whatever Giannis has seemingly lost in his mid-range game, he’s made up for it in his three-point shot.
Giannis, after that three, is 7/13 on the year, as he extends the Bucks' lead to eight, 107-99 with 5:14 to go in the fourth.
35, 15, and 7 for the Greek Freak.
Halftime: Bucks 53, Bulls 52
Giannis: 13pts, 5/12FG, 5 rebs, 3 asts
Turner: 13 pts, 5/6FG, 3/4 3PT
Giddey: 14pts, 6/9FG, 7asts
Buzelis: 13pts, 6/6FG, 6rebs
It's been as good a game as you would hope for an NBA Cup game and two of the East's best in the early going.
1st Quarter: Bucks 23, Bulls 25
After starting the quarter down 8-1, the Bucks rallied in the final 2:37 to cut the Bulls’ lead down to just two points.
Bad start for the Bucks, as the Bulls have raced out to an 8-1 lead.
Buzelis has three layups for Chicago, while Milwaukee is 0/5 to begin this one.
Timeout Bucks.
It's a bigger blow for the Bucks than you think.
Prince is a perfect 14-0 in NBA Cup games and has been on both championship teams (Lakers in 2023, Bucks in 2024).
Taurean Prince was downgraded to OUT tonight for the Milwaukee Bucks (neck strain).
Head coach Doc Rivers said he’s undergoing an MRI and that they will soon know how long he will be out.
Despite an opening with a 47-point first quarter, the Milwaukee Bucks lost at home to the Sacramento Kings, 135-133.
Kyle Kuzma had an incredible 4th quarter, while Cole Anthony had his worst game as a Buck.

He made his case that this is not a political issue and the idea that kids are abusing this program is “crap”.
Despite not having Giannis against the Warriors, the Bucks were still able to pull off the win, 120-110.
Ryan Rollins and Myles Turner had great games to get them the W.
