Chicago Bulls storm back from early deficit to beat Milwaukee Bucks in NBA

What the report says

The Chicago Bulls rallied from a 15-point first-quarter deficit to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks 132-125 in NBA action in Milwaukee, according to Al Jazeera’s report based on Reuters. The Bulls improved after a heavy loss to Toronto earlier in the week, while the Bucks dropped to 0-2 to begin the season.

Norman Powell led Chicago with 25 points and rookie Caleb Wilson added 21, including key late free throws and a decisive steal in the closing seconds. Leonard Miller scored 19 and Jalen Smith posted 14 points with 13 rebounds for the Bulls. For Milwaukee, Tyler Herro finished with 34 points, supported by Jaime Jaquez Jr. and several other double-digit scorers.

Milwaukee controlled much of the first half and still led by two at halftime. Chicago, however, opened the fourth quarter with a quick run, took the lead on Wilson’s dunk, and kept applying pressure as the teams traded baskets down the stretch. The Bulls’ defense and late foul shooting helped them close out the game.

The result highlighted Chicago’s ability to recover after a poor start, while Milwaukee’s second straight loss raised early questions about consistency. The game was one of several notable NBA results on the night, alongside Boston’s win over New York and the Lakers’ victory over the Clippers.
