Record & Scoring

Chicago Bulls has the win-rate edge (46.9), while Milwaukee Bucks owns point margin (-3.5), so the category is split by “results” versus “process.” In a one-game sample, the margin team can look better if the game avoids late free-throw noise and stays possession-tight.

Metric Milwaukee Bucks Chicago Bulls
Record (W-L) 26-32 24-36
Win Percentage 40 46.9
Points For 112.1 115.7
Points Against 115.6 120.5
Points Margin -3.5 -4.7

Efficiency

Shooting efficiency leans to Chicago Bulls (112.2), but field goal efficiency leans to Milwaukee Bucks (56.8), which can flip depending on shot quality under pressure. If the game tightens, the side that can keep its efficiency steady late usually wins this section.

Metric Milwaukee Bucks Chicago Bulls
Field Goal % 0.7 0.7
Three-Point % 0.3 0.2
Shooting Efficiency 112 112.2
Field Goal Efficiency 56.8 55
Free Throw Rate 0.2 0.2
Three-Point Rate 0.4 0.4
Free Throw % 0.7 0.8

Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers

Milwaukee Bucks holds the cleaner overall profile here—net rating (-2.9) plus turnover control (13.8). If those show up, Milwaukee Bucks can withstand a fast stretch because the extra possessions don’t come with extra giveaways.

Net Rating -2.9 -4
Offensive Rating 111.7 111.1
Defensive Rating 114.6 115.1
Turnovers Per Game 13.8 14.3

Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption

Offensive rebounds and steals don’t separate the teams much (0.2 vs 0.2, 7.4 vs 7.5), so the best edge is often effort consistency. If one side wins the 50/50 plays for a single quarter, it can flip the possession count enough to matter.

Metric Milwaukee Bucks Chicago Bulls
Rebounds Per Game 41.1 44.5
Offensive Rebounds 0.2 0.2
Defensive Rebounds 0.7 0.8
Assists Per Game 26 28.8
