Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers did not mince his words, as Chicago Bulls' Coby White scored 35 points to spoil the Bucks' first home game of the National Basketball Association (NBA) season on Oct 25 with a 133-122 win.
The Bulls withstood a 38-point, 11-rebound double-double from Milwaukee's two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose big night at Fiserv Forum included a monster dunk over Nikola Vucevic.
Damian Lillard added 28 points and eight assists for the Bucks, but it was not enough in the end.
"That was a disappointing game from us tonight. But give them credit, they played hard, they pushed the ball at pace, so I give them a lot of credit," said Rivers.
"We tried, but I never thought that we ever got our offensive rhythm to give ourselves any chance of a (successful) defensive transition. I didn't think we had it the entire game.
"First game at home, we want to do well, we want to show up. But I always say when you come into the game and you (have this thinking) of wanting to put on a show, you lose the competition."
