The Chicago Bulls defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 120-113, in overtime at United Center on Thursday night.

The Bulls (6-14) came out of a hotly contested first quarter with a two-point lead, but the Bucks (13-6) had taken a six-point advantage by halftime. Chicago returned the favor in the third quarter and built as much as a 12-point edge just before the halfway point of the final period before Milwaukee finished on a 24-12 run over the final 6:34 of regulation to force the extra period. However, the hosts bounced back in OT to sting the visitors with their own strong stretch of play, finishing on an 11-3 run in the final 2:28 after falling behind by one.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 26 points, complementing them with 14 rebounds, five assists, five blocks and two assists. Brook Lopez totaled 20 points and four boards. Malik Beasley followed with 19 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals. Damian Lillard generated an 18-point, 13-assist double-double that included five rebounds, two steals and one block.

Nikola Vucevic generated a 29-point, 10-rebound double-double that included six assists and one steal. Coby White supplied 23 points, seven assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block. Ayo Dosunmu offered 14 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals. Patrick Williams supplied 12 points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block. Jevon Carter and Alex Caruso had 11 points apiece, with the latter adding five assists. Andre Drummond and Torrey Craig generate matching 10-point efforts while pulling down 14 and eight boards, respectively.

The Bucks return home to host the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night, while the Bulls host the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night as well.
