The Chicago Bulls head into the All-Star break on a six-game losing streak as they fell to the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, 112-100.

Chicago was without DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso while the Bucks lost Giannis Antetokounmpo just nine minutes into the game due to a wrist injury.

The Bucks jumped out to a double-digit lead at the end of the first quarter and never looked back as they held the lead for the remainder of the game.

Nikola Vucevic led the way for Chicago with 22 points, 16 rebounds, and three assists.

Zach LaVine struggled from the floor, scoring 18 points on just 5-of-16 shooting.
