Tony Snell came off the bench to deliver 20 points as the Chicago Bulls posted their sixth victory in their last seven NBA contests with a 87-71 win over Milwaukee on Monday.
Snell recorded his third 20-point game in his last five for Chicago who also dominated on the glass with a 62-41 rebounding edge. Snell had posted just one 20 point game in his career prior to his latest hot streak.
Nikola Mirotic tallied 16 points and 14 rebounds off the bench as he and Snell were given extra playing time Monday because of an illness to sixth man Taj Gibson.
Pau Gasol finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds, Jimmy Butler scored 11 and had nine rebounds and Joakim Noah grabbed a game-high 16 boards at the United Centre Arena.
“We hit the glass pretty well,” said Noah.
