Takeaways Bulls: White was just two points off his career high of 37 points he scored against Sacramento last season. ... Lonzo Ball didn't play for the Bulls, two days after participating in his first regular-season game since Jan. 14, 2022, as he comes back from multiple knee surgeries. He will be available for their home opener Saturday.

Bucks: Two nights after they looked sharp in a 124-109 season-opening victory at Philadelphia, the Bucks struggled badly on defense and didn't give Antetokounmpo and Lillard enough help on offense. ... Khris Middleton remained out as he recovers from offseason surgeries to each of his ankles.

Key moment After Milwaukee's A.J. Green made a pair of 3-pointers in the first minute of the fourth quarter to cut Chicago's lead to 102-101, Patrick Williams answered with a 3-pointer of his own. Williams' basket started a 13-1 run, and the Bucks never seriously threatened again.

Key stat The Bulls' 21 3-pointers were the most in a game since hitting a franchise-record 25 against New Orleans on Feb. 10, 2021.

Up next The Bulls play their home opener on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, while the Bucks are at Brooklyn on Sunday.
