Chicago improved to 2-0 in exhibition competition after posting a 119-112 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night.
The game was tied at 110 at the two-minute mark in the fourth quarter. But thanks to a 9-2 burst to close out the evening, Chicago got its second win against the Cavaliers in three days.
Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter, who both came off the bench, were Chicago's leading scorers. Dosunmu led the way with 16 points and four rebounds. Carter added 14 points and knocked down five of his seven attempts from deep.
The Bucks pulled away down the stretch for a 117-111 win against a Pistons squad that was missing several players, including Jalen Duren, Jaden Ivy, and Tobias Harris.
AJ Green powered Milwaukee's offense with 22 points, three rebounds, and three assists. He shot a perfect 5-for-5 from the field and 7-for-7 from the charity stripe. Bobby Portis added 11 points, and two blocks.
Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
While both teams are 2-0, the Bulls have dropped seven of the previous 10 meetings in this series. With that in mind, the edge goes to Milwaukee in this battle between divisional opponents.
