Powell scores 25 points to help the Bulls hold off the Bucks, 132-125

MILWAUKEE -- Norman Powell had 25 points, rookie Caleb Wilson added 21 and the Chicago Bulls beat the Milwaukee Bucks 132-125 on Friday.

The game was played four hours earlier than originally scheduled because of the Milwaukee Brewers hosting Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night.

Leonard Miller scored 19 points to help the Bulls rebound from a season-opening 135-92 loss at Toronto on Wednesday night. Jalen Smith had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Buddy Hield scored 13 points.

Tyler Herro , a Milwaukee-area native who was one of four players shipped to the Bucks in a blockbuster off-season trade that sent franchise cornerstone Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat , had 34 points.

Fellow former Heat player Jaime Jaquez Jr . added 19 points and 11 rebounds, Kyle Kuzma had 14 points and Myles Turner 12. The Bucks opened Wednesday night with a loss in Washington.

The teams exchanged leads before the Bulls sealed the victory by hitting multiple free throws down the stretch.

A moment of silence prior to the game and a video tribute at halftime for Don Nelson, the winningest coach in the history of the Bucks. He died Aug. 9 at age 86.
