Coach’s Comments on Giannis
"He’s just a handful with the way he plays. I’ve got great respect for his motor, intensity and the way he competes, but you’re going to have to, at a certain point, match force with force. He without question in the fourth quarter overwhelmed us." — Bulls head coach Billy Donovan
Bulls’ Defensive Struggles
Isaac Okoro was initially tasked with guarding Antetokounmpo but quickly accumulated fouls, forcing other Bulls big men to defend the Bucks’ star.
"He just started going at us one-on-one, and when he sees space, he’s going to attack it." — Isaac Okoro
Key Takeaway
Although the Bulls have pace, shooting, and depth, the presence and impact of Giannis Antetokounmpo proved decisive in tipping the game in the Bucks' favor.
