CHICAGO BULLS-MILWAUKEE BUCKS 119-113 OT | The Bulls have a record four wins under 50%, but for some odd reason They are 7-1 against teams like Boston, Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Miamiwhich tonight is once again confirmed as the bete noire of the big names in the East. Also at 15 in the fourth period and at 11 with three minutes leftthe Bulls came from behind to force overtime thanks to one Defensive recovery by DeMar DeRozan, who launched Ayo Dosunmu to dunk for a tieeven from -4 in overtime to win the game

DeRozan He was the absolute star of the game by being at odds 42 points, 10 of them only in overtime, while adding 10 rebounds and 5 assists to his game 15/25 shooting with 12/14 free throws (no triple try). I’m here to help him 24 points from Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic’s 15+14 double-double, for a team that has won four of their last five games to return to tenth place in the Eastern Conference. “Why do we play so well with the big girls? Run faster when a dog is chasing you‘, DeRozan’s statement

I am instead four straight defeats by the Bucks, never struggling like this in their recent history. This knockout hurts especially there Giannis Antetokounmpo he presented himself with a will to win: 45 points (season high) and 22 rebounds (season high) along with 7 assistsbut also poor shooting rates (17/39 with 11/17 when the clock is stopped) e 5 turnoversincluding two in the defining moments of the fourth period. Excluding Middleton and HolidayBobby Portis’ 20+11 isn’t enough to support the two-time MVP’s efforts
