NBA -- Bulls dominate Bucks, win two straight
By Kelly Manalo PhilBoxing.com Wed, 25 Feb 2015
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls won their second straight home game on Monday night, beating the Milwaukee Bucks, 87-71, despite making only 27 of 76 field goals (35.5 percent)
Tony Snell scored 18 of his 20 points in the first half to lead the Bulls while Nikola Mirotic added 16 points and 14 rebounds. Pau Gasol registered another double-double -- 15 points and 10 boards -- and the Bulls are 2-0 in their 7-game home stand.
The Bulls controlled the entire game and led by as many as 22 points even without sixth man Taj Gibson and Kirk Hinrich, who were sidelined by illness.
Milwaukee, meanwhile, shot a dismal 33.7 percent from the field (30-of-89) and two in a row since trading leading scorer Brandon Knight last week.
Michael Carter-Williams, whom Milwaukee got from the Knight trade, has yet to play a game for the Bucks, but they seem hopeful that when he returns from injury the team can return to their winning ways.
Derrick Rose struggled with just eight points, making only 1-of-13 from the field including 1-of-7 from 3-point range.
At 36-21, the Bulls closed to within 1 1/2 games of the 37-19 Toronto Raptors for second place in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Bucks dropped to 31-25 and remained in sixth place in the East.
