    The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Chicago Bulls 112-100 on Thursday night in a contest that was nowhere near as close as the final score may indicate. Milwaukee was without the services of Khris Middleton, Pat Connaughton, Bobby Portis, and Jae Crowder and lost Giannis Antetokounmpo midway through the second quarter. The Greek Freak sprained his wrist and did not return to the game. Before he got hurt, however, Antetokounmpo dished out his 3,273rd career assist. This pass, which resulted in a Jevon Carter bucket, moved him into first on the Bucks’ all-time assists list.

    Brook Lopez Starts Hot, Dominates on Both Ends

    Brook Lopez of the Milwaukee Bucks led the team to victory over the Bulls.

    Even when Giannis was in the game, it was center Brook Lopez who was scoring early and often for Milwaukee. The sharpshooting big man was 13-18 from the floor (3-6 from three) and scored a game-high 33 points. That total was his season-high. As the Bucks enter the All-Star break, Lopez is shooting 50.1% from the floor and 37.1% from three on the season.

    Jevon Carter Scored 11 Points in the Fourth Quarter to Close Out the Game

    Backup guard Jevon Carter got the start in place of the injured Connaughton and he made the most of his opportunities. Carter bookended his 22 points by scoring 11 in the first quarter to help Milwaukee get off to an early lead. He then scored 11 in the fourth quarter to help put the game away. While the final score shows that the Bucks won by 12, that final margin is very deceiving. Thanks in large part to Carter’s fourth quarter, the Bucks led by 20+ for most of the period before Coach Budenholzer emptied the bench.
