MILWAUKEE (AP) — Norman Powell had 25 points, rookie
Caleb Wilson added 21 and the Chicago Bulls beat the Milwaukee Bucks
132-125 on Friday.
The game was played four hours earlier than originally scheduled because
of the Milwaukee Brewers hosting Game 1 of the World Series on Friday
night. |

Leonard Miller scored 19 points to help the Bulls rebound from a
season-opening 135-92 loss at Toronto on Wednesday night. Jalen
Smith had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Buddy Hield scored 13
points.
Tyler Herro, a Milwaukee-area native who was one of four players
shipped to the Bucks in a blockbuster off-season trade that sent
franchise cornerstone Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat,
had 34 points.
Fellow former Heat player Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 19 points and
11 rebounds, Kyle Kuzma had 14 points and Myles Turner 12. The
Bucks opened Wednesday night with a loss in Washington.
The teams exchanged leads before the Bulls sealed the victory by
hitting multiple free throws down the stretch.
A moment of silence prior to the game and a video tribute at
halftime for Don Nelson, the winningest coach in the history of
the Bucks. He died Aug. 9 at age 86.
