Chuck's Daily Check In - 11.17.18
Chuck recaps last night's loss in Milwaukee and previews tonight's matchup against Toronto
GAME NIGHT FROM THE UNITED CENTER:
Toronto (12-4, 5-2 on the road) at Bulls (4-12 , 2-6 at home.)
TV: NBC Sports Chicago: Neil Funk and Stacey King: 7PM
RADIO: 670 The Score: Chuck Swirsky, Bill Wennington and Steve Kashul: 6:45PM
CCI PREVIEW: Both teams had a late Friday night with each team playing on the road. This is the third game in four nights as well for both the Bulls and Raps. The Raps dropped their third straight losing in OT last night in Boston 123-116. The Raptors have a new coach in Nick Nurse and brought in Kawhi Leonard in the biggest off season transaction. Kyle Lowry is a tremendous talent. Lowry is the heart and soul of Toronto and leads the NBA in assists averaging nearly 11 per game. The Bulls need to shake off last night’s loss and reset their sights on Toronto.
FINAL FROM MILWAUKEE:
Milwaukee 123 - Bulls 104.
LEADING SCORERS: Bulls: Parker: 21. Milwaukee: Bledsoe: 25.
LEADING REBOUNDERS: Bulls: Parker: 8. Milwaukee: Antetokounmpo: 13.
LEADING ASSISTS: Bulls: Carter, Holiday and LaVine each with 4. Milwaukee: Middleton: 8.
CCI RECAP: A fantastic first quarter for the Bulls scoring 40 points and led by as many as 22 with 90 seconds left in the first half....BUT the high powered Bucks showed why they lead the NBA in scoring pouring in 46 third quarter points and never looked back. The Bucks out rebounded the Bulls 55-36 and scored 52 points in the paint. The Bucks as the Celtics did, bottled up Zach Lavine who was held to 15 points on 6 of 20 from the floor. Eric Bledsoe played an outstanding game, maybe the best I’ve seen him play in years with a 25-4-6 game and 3 steals.
CCI GAME BALLS: Bulls: Holiday and Parker. Milwaukee: Bledsoe.
