The Chicago Bulls’ start to the season was bittersweet. Lonzo Ball returned to Hartwood after a two-and-a-half year layoff, although the team fell behind the New Orleans Pelicans. They stayed on the road for their second game of the season, this time heading north to face the Milwaukee Bucks.

After the Bucks were successful in the season opener, the Bulls had to compete against a star-studded duo in Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Midway through the second quarter, Giannis took advantage of a fast break opportunity and showed off his athletic ability with a monster dunk over Nikola Vucevic.

In a hard-fought battle, a dunk like Antetokounmpo’s is exactly the boost the team needs to build a small run and extend its lead. It worked, too, as the Bucks quickly scored six unanswered points.

NBA fans were quick to comment on the monster slam as the video received more than 22,000 likes in just six minutes.

About @Bron_Season: “Didn’t you see who he was against? The worst defender in the league next to Luka.”

Towards the end of the first half, Antetokounmpo is up to 15 points and is taking full advantage of the Bulls’ defense. Chicago is just behind as the break is approaching.
