Morning Box Score: Bucks Edge Bulls

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Jan 9, 2010 4:30PM

Once again, the Bulls had a lead they let get away. And while it wasn't the 35-point lead they blew to Sacremento, it was still a blown lead and another loss, their third straight, as they were edged by the Milwaukee Bucks 96-93. The Bulls played from behind for most of the first half only to grasp a lead in the second half. The Bulls' lead grew to as many as seven points in the fourth quarter, but the Bucks fought their way back as the Bulls missed some key shots and free throws, opening the door for an 18-5 run by the Bucks to take back the lead. Derrick Rose led the team with 25 points, Joakim Noah had 10 points and 18 rebounds, and Luol Deng scored 13. The Bulls try to snap their latest losing skid tonight in Minnesota (7 p.m., WGN).
