It wasn't pretty, but the Bucks were able to take care of business against the Bulls in Game 1 of their first-round series.
Milwaukee escaped with a 93-86 victory despite shooting 40.5 percent from the field, 26.3 percent from beyond the arc and 65.2 percent from the free throw line. Giannis Antetokounmpo unsurprisingly led the way for the Bucks, scoring 27 points and grabbing 16 rebounds in 34 minutes.
Chicago's stars struggled offensively in Game 1, as DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic combined to shoot under 30 percent on their 71 field goal attempts. If the Bulls want to avoid a 2-0 deficit, they must capitalize on their scoring opportunities in Game 2.
