The Chicago Bulls welcomed the red-hot Milwaukee Bucks to the United Center Friday night for a cross-divisional matchup against one of the best teams in the East. Milwaukee ended up coming away with a relatively comfortable win over Chicago, winning 113-97, but that didn’t stop things from getting choppy throughout the night.
One moment, in particular, stood out among the rest. At the start of the fourth quarter, Nikola Vucevic had Bobby Portis on him in the post. He went for a bucket but missed, complaining to the referees that he thought he had been fouled. Then when AJ Green went to the rim on the other end, he pushed it to the ground in the air.
Vučević ended up receiving a Flagrant 2 for action, getting kicked out of the game. It was quite an ugly scramble.
Vucevic finished the game with 17 points, nine rebounds and three assists while shooting 8 of 18 from the field and 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point arc.
