The Chicago Bulls ( 36 - 21 ) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks ( 31 - 25 ) 87 - 71 on Monday at the United Center in Chicago . In this low scoring game , both teams really struggled to get much going offensively . The Bulls went 36 percent from the field and 31 percent from the three - point line , while the Bucks went just 34 percent from the floor and a meager 22 percent from deep . Despite the poor performance from the field , the Bulls did get off to a solid start though , out - scoring the Bucks 48 - 33 in the first half . The Bulls committed a brutal 19 turnovers , but by getting out to such a big lead , they gave themselves enough wiggle room to still pull out the victory in front of their home crowd . It also did n't hurt that they finished with a 62 - 41 rebounding advantage . Leading the starters in scoring , Pau Gasol continued his strong season , finishing with 15 points ( 5 - 9 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 5 - 8 FT ) and 10 rebounds in 29 minutes . It was his second double - double in a row , a stretch where he 's combined for 37 points and 24 rebounds . He 's now pushed his season averages to 18 points and 12 rebounds per game . The Bulls also saw a strong push from their bench , with both Tony Snell and Nikola Mirotic reaching double figures in points . Snell was very efficient from the floor , going 7 - for - 11 from the field and 4 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 20 points in 31 minutes . Mirotic , on the other hand , notched a double - double of his own , finishing with 16 points ( 4 - 11 FG , 2 - 6 3Pt , 6 - 8 FT ) , 14 rebounds and two blocked shots . It was a career - high in rebounds for Mirotic , as he was a big reason for the Bulls ' advantage on the boards . Joakim Noah was also a force on the boards , grabbing 16 rebounds to go along with eight points ( 3 - 9 FG , 2 - 2 FT ) . Considering they scored only 71 points , it 's not surprising the Bucks had only three players reach double figures in scoring . Khris Middleton led the way , going 8 - for - 19 from the floor to score 17 points , while also adding six rebounds and three steals . He continues to be very consistent , as he 's averaged 17 points and 6 rebounds over his last five games . Ersan Ilyasova was also productive , as he moved into the starting lineup . In 35 minutes , he finished with 15 points ( 6 - 16 FG , 3 - 8 3Pt ) and 11 rebounds . It was a new season - high in rebounds for him , as well as his best scoring output since the end of November . The only other Buck reaching double - digits in points was Giannis Antetokounmpo , who recorded 11 points , despite shooting just 3 - for - 10 from the field . He was coming off an impressive 19 - point showing on Sunday , so it was somewhat of a let - down performance . The Bulls ' next game will be at home against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday , while the Bucks will be at home against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday .
