The Bucks picked up their 17th win in 19 games.
Chicago Bulls 117-106 Monday night without All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo. While the Greek Freak sat out with a sore right knee, the Bucks overcame a sluggish start to pick up their 17th win in 19 games. The Bucks used a huge second quarter to grab a nine-point lead after falling behind by 14. That propelled them to their eighth straight road win — their best streak since a nine-game run during the 1981-82 season. Brogdon hit four 3-pointers. Middleton nailed three from beyond the arc.
Middleton scored 12 over the final 4:07, including a step-back 3 in the closing seconds to send Milwaukee to the locker room up by nine. And the Bucks never really were threatened after that. TIP-INS Bucks: Coach Mike Budenholzer said Antetokounmpo worked out Monday and the Bucks are "hopeful" his absence is "very short term." The Greek Freak is averaging 27.2 points and 12.7 rebounds per game, putting him among the league’s top 10 in both categories.
