Tyler Herro scored 34 in his first home game for Milwaukee, including 11 points in three minutes of the fourth.

The bench won it

Chicago's reserves outscored Milwaukee's 59-35. Leonard Miller had 19, Buddy Hield 13 and Isaac Okoro 12.

Perfect at the line

The Bulls went 28-of-30 on free throws, Powell 9-of-9, and won despite making just 12 of 45 threes.
