Still, Chicago stuck around behind eight
double-figure scorers. Ayo Dosunmu (14 points), Patrick Williams
(12), Jevon Carter (11), Alex Caruso (11), Torrey Craig (10) and
Andre Drummond (10) rounded out the balanced attack.
Drummond snagged 14 rebounds.
Giannis Antetokounmpo notched a double-double of 26 points and
14 boards for Milwaukee, while Brook Lopez followed with 20
points.
Chicago led by as many as 12 in the fourth quarter. The Bucks
stormed back before White drilled a step-back 3-pointer with
1:26 remaining to extend the advantage to seven points.
Milwaukee responded with a 10-0 run, including Lopez's fifth
trey of the second half to give the visitors a 104-103 lead with
21.4 seconds to go. Antetokounmpo hit two free throws to stretch
the lead to three, but Caruso forced overtime with a
buzzer-beating trey.
Malik Beasley scored 19 points for the Bucks, and Damian Lillard
had 18 points and 13 assists.
Chicago led after one quarter, overcoming an early 9-0 deficit
by using quick ball movement to dictate the pace.
Milwaukee recovered to take a 55-49 advantage into halftime.
Lillard (17 points) and Khris Middleton (nine) helped offset
early struggles from Antetokounmpo, who navigated three
first-half fouls and scored just four points.
Vucevic (16 points) and White (10) led the Bulls, who committed
13 turnovers before intermission but were plus-10 under the
boards.
Chicago snapped a three-game skid against Milwaukee, which
defeated the Bulls by nine on Nov. 13 in the first meeting
between the teams this season.
Vucevic had a season high in scoring to go with six assists, one
shy of White's team high.
Chicago shot 45.9 percent compared to 44.9 percent for
Milwaukee.
