CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls wanted vengeance. They didn’t attempt to hide it ahead of Friday night’s game. But the Milwaukee Bucks didn’t offer the Bulls any chance for redemption, clinching a 118-112 win to send the Bulls into a four-game losing streak.
The Bulls entered the game ready to rumble, still fuming over the flagrant-2 foul by Grayson Allen in January that fractured Alex Caruso’s right wrist. But for all those promises, the recreational activities of the so-called revenge game were limited to a few full-throated choruses of boos from United Center fans.
“You understand it. I don’t think it’s something you need to talk about it,” DeMar DeRozan said. “You know what’s what. You realize it every single day when you see a teammate that’s not playing because of an injury that was caused by a team that we’re playing. It’s just something you just know.”
