Brayden Burries started for the first time on Oct. 14 and missed six of his first seven shots against a Chicago lineup built around its regulars.

He finished with 19 points, five rebounds, five assists and four steals in 29 minutes. Seventeen of those points came after halftime.

Burries went 5-of-12 from the field, 1-of-6 from three and 8-of-8 at the free-throw line. Every free throw came in the second half.

'Just thankful, blessed,' Burries said of hearing his name with the starters. 'It took me back to Arizona a little bit with the starting five.'

He hit a 22-foot three, made six free throws and finished a steal with a running dunk for 11 points in the third. Milwaukee held out most of its rotation.
