Bucks rout Bulls, 126-96

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Bucks believe their offseason roster overhaul made them a better 3-point shooting team.

Their recent efficiency from beyond the arc bears that out.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 29 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists and the Milwaukee Bucks used torrid shooting to blast the Chicago Bulls 126-96 on Friday.

Milwaukee shot 22 of 45 on 3-point attempts. This came three nights after the Bucks made an NBA-record 29 3-pointers on 51 attempts in a 144-97 rout of the Miami Heat.

Three of the players the Bucks added were Jrue Holiday, Bryn Forbes and Bobby Portis. That trio went a combined 9 of 14 from 3-point range Friday.

Starting at $3.50/week.
