The Chicago Bulls have recently defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, with the game finishing 114-110 in the Bulls’ favor. The Chicago Bulls were led by DeMar DeRozan, who finished with 41 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.
There is no doubt that this was a crucial win for the Chicago Bulls, as they will now be hosting the Milwaukee Bucks for 2 games in Chicago, with the series split 1-1. If they are able to win both at home, they will be in a very good position to win the series.
After the win, Alex Caruso sent a stern message to his teammates, reminding them that the Milwaukee Bucks will naturally be the hungrier team going into Game 3, and stated that the team needs to keep having “the same mentality” that they had for the Game 2 win.
They automatically have the advantage right now. Human nature effect. We win, they lose. They’re going to be the hungrier team just naturally. Alright. Enjoy it. Learn from it. We gotta get back to the same mentality.
Alex Caruso’s words make perfect sense. The Milwaukee Bucks are likely heavily disappointed in the fact that they couldn’t win both games at home, and will likely come out strong in Game 3 to try to assert themselves in Chicago. The Chicago Bulls will need to remember that this series isn’t over until they win 4 games, and we’ll see if they are able to win Game 3 and take another step towards winning the series.
There is no doubt that beating the reigning champions is a tough task for the Chicago Bulls. They have struggled to beat top-tier teams during the regular season. With that being said, they have a fair amount of talent on their team, and notably have a top-tier wing duo in Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. They will be looking to pull off an upset, and we’ll have to wait and see if they are able to do so.
