CHICAGO _ For three games, Fred Hoiberg saw the Chicago Bulls' future.
Even with Zach LaVine on a 20-minute limit at that time, the core of Lauri Markkanen, Kris Dunn and LaVine taking the court together produced a 2-1 record and a competitive loss to the Warriors.
But since the Bulls lost Kris Dunn to a concussion late in that Warriors' loss, the offense has sputtered and so has the rebuild. Sunday afternoon at the United Center offered more proof.
With Dunn still sidelined and LaVine still ice cold from the field, only Markkanen acquitted himself in the Bulls' fourth straight loss, a 110-96 snoozer to the Milwaukee Bucks.
After his 3-for-17 outing on Friday, LaVine missed his first nine shots, didn't score until the fourth quarter and finished 2-for-11 for six points, five rebounds and five assists.
Giannis Antetokounmpo rallied from his 1-for-7 start to score 27 points on 11-for-19 shooting with nine rebounds and eight assists.
Denzel Valentine's 18 points _ two off his career-high _ led the Bulls, while Markkanen posted his 12th double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds.
The Bulls shot 41.4 percent with 16 turnovers.
