Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 24 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and recorded four assists in a 111-107 preseason win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. Antetokounmpo is getting into midseason form in the preseason and will look to be a force once again this season.
One of the biggest stories on Monday night in the preseason game was when Giannis Antetokounmpo was fouled hard by Chicago Bulls player Josh Giddey in the first quarter. Antetokounmpo didn’t like it very much so he shoved Giddey and was t’d up for it.

It was just a preseason game, but many people did not expect this to occur. The Bulls and the Bucks do not like each other so this is something to monitor later in the season.
Chicago Bulls Face Bucks On October 25
On October 25, the Chicago Bulls will face the Bucks at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It will be interesting to see if the beef between Josh Giddey and Giannis Antetokounmpo will continue to carry over.
The Bulls are trying to be a playoff team this season. As for the Bucks, they will have much higher expectations for the 2024-2025 NBA season.
