The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a disappointing home-opening loss to the Chicago Bulls, falling 133-122. The Bucks' defense was criticized for its lack of intensity and focus throughout the game. Despite a strong start, the team's defensive efforts slowly drained as the Bulls hit tough three-pointers. This marked a stark contrast from their previous performance, where they showed defensive intensity. Coach Doc Rivers has emphasized the importance of wiping out mental lapses on defense.
