Giannis Antetokounmpo was unstoppable on both ends and led the Milwaukee Bucks to an emphatic victory over the Chicago Bulls (119-95).
The “Greek Freak” went for 32 points (11/22 shooting), 17 rebounds and 7 assists for the winners. Grayson Allen (10/12 shooting, 6/7 from beyond the arc) added 27 points and Jrue Holiday posted 26 points for the Bucks.
On the other hand, four players scored in double figures for the losing squad, with Zach LaVine having a team-high 24 points.
Milwaukee dominated the game after the first quarter and never looked back. The reigning champions outscored the Bulls 31-19 in the second quarter and closed the first half in front by 15 (56-41). Chicago never recovered and suffered its second straight home loss.
The Bucks now lead the series 3-1 and need one more win to advance to the Eastern Conference semi-finals. They will attempt to close out the series on Wednesday, when they host the Bulls in Game 5.
