The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Chicago Bulls, 94-90, at Fiserv Forum on Friday night.

A nip-and-tuck first half culminated with the Bucks (29-19) holding a one-point lead, but it was the Bulls (28-16) with a one-point edge heading into the final period. Milwaukee would eventually re-take the advantage, and although a late 7-3 run got Chicago within two points with 1:10 remaining, but a pair of Khris Middleton free throws and missed late shot attempts by Ayo Dosunmu and Nikola Vucevic allowed the hosts to escape with the narrow victory.

DeMar DeRozan led the Bulls with 35 points, complementing them with six rebounds and three assists. Vucevic generated a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double that included three assists, two blocks and one steal. Matt Thomas contributed 11 points and three rebounds.

Giannis Antetokounmpo paced the Bucks with 30 points, supplementing them with 12 boards, three assists, two blocks and one steal. Middleton turned in 16 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. Jrue Holiday registered 13 points, four boards and two assists. Bobby Portis generated a 12-point, 13-rebound double-double that included one assist.

The Bulls remain on the road and visit the Orlando Magic on Sunday evening, while the Bucks remain home and host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night.
