Bulls-Bucks Preview

The Chicago Bulls opened their extended road trip in encouraging fashion, but nothing has gone right since.

Coming off another blowout defeat, the Bulls conclude a six-game trip Monday night against the Milwaukee Bucks in a matchup of teams looking to avoid a fifth straight loss.

After opening the season with five wins in nine games, Chicago (6-8) embarked on a two-week road swing made necessary by the circus occupying the United Center. The Bulls started the trip with a 101-87 victory over Sacramento on Nov. 17, but things went downhill from there.

Chicago is coming off a 105-86 loss to Utah on Thursday, and was outscored by an average of 19.3 points in dropping its last four. The Bulls lost each by at least 15, and have allowed an average of 111.8 points on 52.6 percent shooting during the slide.

"We're not communicating and we are letting people do whatever," guard Derrick Rose said.

The road-weary Bulls hope to rely on recent history as they try to stop the skid. Chicago is 11-2 against Milwaukee (8-7) since the start of the 2006-07 season.

In the teams' only meeting this season, Chicago rallied from 18 down to win 83-81 at home Nov. 3. Luol Deng finished with 24 points and a career-best 20 rebounds while Rose scored 10 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter.

Rose is showing improvement after getting off to a slow start due to an ankle injury. He has averaged 20.3 points on 50.7 percent shooting during the losing streak after averaging 13.4 points and 43.8 percent in the first 10 games.

Rose was the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2008-09, and Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings is emerging as an early favorite for the award this season.

Jennings ranks among the league leaders for first-year players with 22.3 points and 5.5 assists per game, although he hasn't been particularly sharp during the Bucks' four-game slide.

The point guard had 18 points on 7-of-22 shooting in a 100-98 loss to Orlando on Saturday, and averaged 14.0 points and 29.0 percent from the field in the last four. In the six games prior to the skid, he scored 31.0 points per game on 51.2 percent shooting, with Milwaukee winning five of those contests.

The Bucks had a chance to end their slide Saturday, but allowed the Magic to come back from a 15-point deficit midway through the third quarter.

"We've got to learn how to finish games," Milwaukee forward Hakim Warrick said. "When we get a big lead we just have to keep going and playing the way we've been playing."

Although Jennings has hit a bit of a wall, he could have better luck against a Chicago team that will likely be without top defensive player Kirk Hinrich (sprained left thumb). Jennings had a game-high 25 points against the Bulls four weeks ago.

Bogut comes up big in comeback, helps Bucks stop slide

MILWAUKEE (NBA.com exclusive) -- Just how much does Andrew Bogut mean to the Milwaukee Bucks?

Well, without his comeback performance Monday night, the Bucks probably would be looking at a fifth straight defeat.

Instead, Bogut's 22 points, 15 rebounds, four blocked shots and three assists were just enough to push the Bucks to a 99-97 victory over the Chicago Bulls at the Bradley Center.

Bogut had missed the Bucks' previous six games with a strained lower left leg, and the Bucks had lost the last four of those.

In snapping their four-game skid the Bucks improved to 9-7. The Bulls (6-9) lost their fifth straight to close out a six-game road trip that had begun on the West coast.

"He's a huge part of our team," Bucks coach Scott Skiles had said before the game.

Bogut went out and showed that right from the start. He assisted on the Bucks' first basket of the game, and his short half-hook gave Milwaukee an 8-4 lead.

He scored 14 second-quarter points, including all of an 8-0 run as the Bucks took a 48-44 lead into the break. While he only had six points in the second half, he scored four of those in the final 3:04. He also posted three of his blocked shots in the fourth quarter, including snuffs of Luol Deng and Derrick Rose in the final 1:30.

Simply put he was indispensible.

"I'd like to not put heavy minutes on him," Skiles had said before the game. Bogut talked about playing about 20 minutes before the game, but in the end he logged 34 minutes, 39 seconds.

"Obviously it was hard to get him out of the game," Skiles said afterward.

"I feel great," Bogut said. "I'll be sore tomorrow, but I'll get in the ice bath and I should be alright."

Bogut's inside basket with 3:04 left gave the Bucks the lead for good at 91-89, and his short runner with 1:08 got a goaltending call against Deng to give the Bucks a 95-90 edge.

John Salmons' 3-pointer got Chicago within 96-95 with 14.7 seconds left, but Brandon Jennings hit two free throws with 13.2 seconds left.

After a dunk by Salmons with 8.6 seconds, Charlie Bell hit just the second of two free throws with 7.1 seconds left, giving the Bulls a chance to tie or win. But Chicago was out of timeouts. Rose raced the ball upcourt, but Brad Miller's open 18-footer bounced off harmlessly at the horn, making Bogut's comeback effort a winner.

"I felt pretty good," Bogut said. "The first two or three minutes were all adrenaline. After that I was sucking wind for a minute or two but once you push through that you feel pretty good. It's good to come back and contribute to a win."

Salmons led the Bulls with 23 points, Deng had 22 and 14 rebounds, Rose had 19 points and seven assists and Joakim Noah added 16 points and 17 rebounds. But the Bulls, who were without Kirk Hinrich (sprained left thumb) only got nine points from three bench players.

All five Milwaukee starters had at least 13 points, with Bell adding 16 and five assists and Jennings chipping in 15 points and eight assists.

Bell's biggest contribution, however, was on the defensive end.

The Bulls had rallied from 14 down midway through the third quarter to take an 84-82 lead with 8:59 left. After a 3-pointer by Jennings, Rose nailed a 20-footer to give the Bulls an 86-85 lead. At that point, he had nine points in the first 4 1/2 minutes of the fourth quarter with the 6-foot-1 Jennings defending him.

Skiles switched assignments and put the 6-foot-3 Bell on the 6-foot-3 Rose. Seconds later, Bell blocked a Rose shot, and Chicago's second-year point guard did not score the rest of the way.

"He's a tough player," Bell said of Rose. "It was a matchup problem for Brandon, and he (Rose) made some tough shots. He's one of those guys that's able to elevate above you and he kind of elevated above Brandon a couple of times and made some tough shots.

"I did the best job I could of trying to keep him in front of me, and I think my advantage is I'm a little taller and able to bother his shot a little more. I just did the best I could, and team-wise we did a good job of slowing him down."

While Bell played his part, the night belonged to Bogut, who improved his season averages to 16.7 points and 9.8 rebounds.

"He played like he didn't miss a beat," Bell said of Bogut. "He came out in the first half and it seemed like he made every shot he threw up there. It was great to have him going like that, and it makes it easier for everybody.

"When he's making shots like that and drawing double-teams we're a tough team to guard because we're able to play inside-out. Without him, we weren't able to do that."
