Honestly, losing to the Rockets on Monday night and then turning around and beating the Bucks would be so Bulls at this point.

What to Watch For …
After one of the ugliest losses of a season full of them just 48 hours ago, the Bulls welcome the Milwaukee Bucks to town for their second tilt of the season, with the Bulls having won the first contest against the Bucks back on November 23, 118-113.
DeMar DeRozan scored 36 points for the Bulls in that game and averaged 31.3 points per game against the Bucks last season in his first year in Chicago, his second-highest average scoring output against any Eastern Conference team last season.
In their last meeting, the Bulls did very well against the Bucks by shooting the deep ball, draining 18 three-pointers against Milwaukee in the victory.
However, the Bulls are just 2-8 in their last 10 games against the Bucks, and Milwaukee is coming to town not very happy.
