Giannis Antetokounmpo's 41-point, 15-rebound, nine-assist performance powered the Milwaukee Bucks to a 126-110 win over visiting the Chicago Bulls on Friday in an NBA Cup game.
Antetokounmpo scored 19 points in the fourth quarter to help keep Chicago at bay. Milwaukee led throughout the final period, but the Bulls hovered around a deficit of three to seven points until a pivotal stretch beginning with back-to-back Antetokounmpo buckets.
He sank a 3-pointer with 5:14 remaining, and then, after Milwaukee's Kyle Kuzma rebounded a missed Isaac Okoro attempt from beyond the arc at the other end, Ryan Rollins fed Antetokounmpo for a lob dunk.
The Bucks built on the 10-point lead when Myles Turner swiped his fourth steal of the night then converted an and-one to cap Milwaukee's 8-0 run.
