by Three-quarters in, Chicago trailed by one point. Then the fourth quarter started.
Giannis Antetokounmpo opened the final period with a pull-up three.
Followed it with an alley-oop dunk. Milwaukee went on an 8-0 run, pushed the lead to 112-99, and never looked back.
Final score: Bucks 126, Bulls 110.

Chicago led 54-53 at the end of the third. The 16-point final margin is almost misleading — this game was very much alive heading into the fourth, and only one player made it feel otherwise.

| Player | PTS | REB | AST | FG | Notes |

Giannis: The Fourth Quarter Belongs to Him
Forty-one points. Fifteen rebounds. Nine assists. And 16-of-32 from the field — which, for context, is the first time all season he’s shot below 61.5%.
That last stat is almost the most telling one. Giannis was off by his own astronomical standards, and still posted a near-quadruple-double that won a basketball game by 16.
The fourth quarter — where he scored 19 points alone — is why Milwaukee’s NBA Cup record sits at a perfect 9-0 across three years of the competition.
Turner and Rollins Step Up
Myles Turner’s 23-point night was his best since arriving in Milwaukee. The trade raised expectations; Friday was the first real glimpse of what those expectations are based on.
Ryan Rollins’ 20 off the bench gave the Bucks a depth cushion they didn’t strictly need, but it’s a useful signal for deeper into the tournament.
Taurean Prince — part of both previous Cup-winning squads — missed the game with a neck strain and wasn’t needed.
Chicago Bulls: Full Player Stats
| Player | PTS | REB | AST | FG | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matas Buzelis | 20 | 8 | 3 | — | 2 STL, 1 BLK; best two-way game of his season |
| Tre Jones | 17 | 5 | 4 | 6-10 | Stepped in for Coby White; shot 60% |
| Josh Giddey | 16 | 7 | 14 | — | 14 AST; historic consecutive triple-double run |
| Ayo Dosunmu | 7 | — | — | — | 20 minutes on return from bruised quad |
| Team Total | 110 |
Buzelis: The Most Complete Bull on the Night
Twenty points is the headline, but 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and a block round out a performance that showed both ends of the floor.
Buzelis was switched onto multiple assignments defensively and didn’t wilt. For a young player on a rebuilding team, nights like this matter more than the win column.
Giddey’s Assist Record Is Genuinely Historic
Fourteen assists. Seven rebounds. Sixteen points. One rebound short of a triple-double — though at 14 assists, that might be the wrong number to focus on.
Giddey has now had triple-doubles in back-to-back games. The last Chicago Bull to do that? Michael Jordan, April 1989.
That’s the company Josh Giddey’s name is sitting next to right now, and it’s not a footnote — it’s a legitimate piece of NBA history.
Tre Jones Quietly Delivered
Coby White was out. Jones started, shot 60% from the field, and contributed 17 points and 4 assists without forcing anything. Exactly what a backup guard needs to do in a big game on the road.
Ayo Dosunmu returned from a bruised quad and played 20 minutes. His 7 points on limited minutes were a bonus; simply having him back was the real win for Chicago’s depth.

What the Numbers Don’t Capture?
Chicago Was Actually in This Game
A one-point deficit entering the fourth quarter isn’t a close game on paper — it’s a close game in reality.
The Bulls competed for 36 minutes against the best player on the planet, playing at a near-peak level. That context matters when reading the final margin.
Milwaukee’s Cup Dominance Isn’t Luck
Nine games. Nine wins. Three seasons. The Bucks have never lost an NBA Cup group stage game, and they don’t treat it like an exhibition.
When Giannis turns it on in the fourth quarter of one of these games, that’s not random — it’s a pattern.
The East’s Balance Is Shifting
Chicago’s NBA Cup campaign started with a 135-125 win over the Knicks on October 31. They went toe-to-toe with Milwaukee for three quarters.
Their 1-1 Cup record doesn’t tell the full story of how this team is developing, and the Giddey-Buzelis combination is worth tracking the rest of the season.

Josh Giddey is in Michael Jordan territory on the Bulls’ assist record books.
The Bucks are 9-0 in NBA Cup play and look every bit like a team chasing a third consecutive title in this competition.
Chicago, for their part, showed enough to suggest they’re closer than the scoreboard made it look – just not close enough to solve a fourth quarter that belonged entirely to one man.
