The Bucks were cold shooting in Game 1 with a FG% of only 39.3%. Michael Carter-Williams and Giannis Antetokounmpo were a combined 8/26 from the floor in the game and this duo must play better in this game or they will be going back to Milwaukee in a 0-2 series hole.
The Bulls have been winning as of late with their D, as in their 5-game winning streak they are holding opponents to an average of 89.4 ppg on 39.1% shooting.
The Bulls have won 7 of their last 8 games facing the Bucks and in that span they are holding Milwaukee to an average of 85.3 ppg. They have won 4 straight over them in Chicago winning by an average of 12 points per game.
The Bulls easily won Game 1 and it would have been more of a blowout if they had not committed 19 turnovers.
Jimmy Butler went for a game high 25 points in Game 1 of this series and while Pau Gasol had 10 points and 13 boards he was only 5/17 from the floor.
The main players for the Bucks lack playoff experience and they have to get over their nerves and get back to playing solid defense.
