Chicago played well enough to win for three quarters. Then Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 19 points in the fourth, and it was over.
That’s the short version of what happened at Fiserv Forum on Friday night.
The longer version — the one with every number, every standout performance, and every storyline worth knowing – is right below.
Chicago Bulls Vs Milwaukee Bucks Match Player Stats

Here are the complete Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks match player stats from the NBA Cup group stage game on November 7, 2025.
Final Score and Quarter Breakdown
Milwaukee won 126-110, but this game was genuinely close for most of the night. Chicago led 54-53 going into the fourth quarter.
The Bucks then outscored them 39-29 in the final period to make the margin look more comfortable than it felt.
| Quarter | Bulls | Bucks |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 25 | 23 |
| Q2 | 27 | 30 |
| Q3 | 29 | 34 |
| Q4 | 29 | 39 |
| Final | 110 | 126 |
The turning point: Giannis hit a pull-up three early in the fourth, followed it with an alley-oop dunk, and the Bucks went on an 8-0 Run to push the lead to 112-99. From there, Chicago never had a real answer.
Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks Match Player Stats: Milwaukee
| Player | PTS | REB | AST | FG | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Giannis Antetokounmpo | 41 | 15 | 9 | 16-32 | 19 of 41 came in Q4 |
| Myles Turner | 23 | — | — | — | Best game since joining the Bucks |
| Ryan Rollins | 20 | — | — | — | Efficient bench contribution |
| Team | 126 |
Giannis shot 16-of-32 — his first game this season under 61.5% shooting efficiency. That fact is almost more impressive than the stat line itself.
Even at below his own standard, he posted a near-quadruple-double that decided an NBA game in the fourth quarter.
Myles Turner’s 23 points deserve attention. He came to Milwaukee with high expectations and has taken time to find his rhythm.
Friday night was a statement. Ryan Rollins’ 20-point bench shift gave the Bucks depth they didn’t need to use, but it’s a good sign for the rest of their Cup run.
One absence worth noting: Taurean Prince sat out with a neck strain. He was part of both previous NBA Cup championship teams. Milwaukee won anyway.
Chicago Bulls Player Stats
| Player | PTS | REB | AST | FG | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matas Buzelis | 20 | 8 | 3 | — | 2 STL, 1 BLK |
| Tre Jones | 17 | 5 | 4 | 6-10 | 60% FG; started in place of Coby White |
| Josh Giddey | 16 | 7 | 14 | — | Near triple-double; historic consecutive run |
| Ayo Dosunmu | 7 | — | — | — | 20 minutes in return from bruised quad |
| Team | 110 |
Chicago was missing Coby White, and Tre Jones handled the load with confidence.
Six-of-ten from the field, 17 points, steady playmaking — exactly what a backup point guard needs to do in a short-handed lineup.
Matas Buzelis was the best all-around Bulls player on the night. Twenty points, 8 boards, 2 steals, and a block.
He was active, physical, and made the right reads. This kind of performance matters more in losses than wins — it shows what he’s becoming as a player.
And then Giddey. Fourteen assists. Seven rebounds. Sixteen points.
He fell one rebound short of a full triple-double, but the assist number tells the real story — he was the engine of Chicago’s offense all night.
He has now recorded triple-doubles in back-to-back games, making him the first Bull to do that since Michael Jordan in April 1989.
That’s not a small footnote.

Three Things the Stats Actually Tell Us
- 1. Giannis Is Unguardable in the Fourth
This isn’t a new observation, but Friday reinforced it. The Bulls held their own for three periods. The moment the game tightened and needed a decisive play, Giannis made three in a row. No team in the league has consistently solved that problem, and Chicago didn’t either.
- 2. Chicago Has Real Pieces Around Their Rebuild
A 20-point two-way night from Buzelis. Giddey is threatening a historic assist streak. Tre Jones is stepping in at 60% shooting without White in the lineup. The Bulls lost by 16, but the individual performances show a team with more depth than their record might suggest.
- 3. Milwaukee’s Cup DNA Is Real
Nine wins from nine NBA Cup group stage games. This is not a coincidence. The Bucks consistently rotate their best players into Cup games with full intensity, and it shows. At 9-0, they’re the standard for how to approach this competition.
Bulls vs Bucks Last 5 Games — Quick Context
Chicago’s NBA Cup campaign opened with a 135-125 win over the New York Knicks on October 31.
That momentum carried into a competitive showing against Milwaukee — a lead at halftime — before the fourth quarter unraveled.
Over the last five meetings between these teams, the Bucks have had the edge in crunch-time situations, and this game was no different.
What does this result mean going forward?
For Milwaukee, the path to a third consecutive NBA Cup title runs through performances like this one.
Giannis healthy, Turner finding form, and the bench producing — that’s a dangerous combination.
For Chicago, the score hurts less than the manner of the loss. They were in it.
They just didn’t have anyone capable of matching what Giannis did in the fourth.
That’s a Giannis problem, not a Bulls problem — but it’s one they’ll need to solve eventually if they want to compete in this division.
