Nikola Mirotic came off the bench to contribute 24 points in 28 minutes as the Chicago Bulls defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 115-106 on Tuesday, securing their eighth win in 10 games.

Chicago's winning streak has coincided with the return of Montenegrin player Mirotic, who missed the start of the season after suffering facial fractures in October due to a fight with his teammate Bobby Portis.

Kris Dunn redeemed himself after the Saturday game, a loss to Boston, in which he made only one of 12 shots. Against Milwaukee, he scored 20 points and made 12 assists in 33 minutes.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 28 points and Eric Bledsoe added 22 to lead Milwaukee, but they suffered their fifth loss in seven games.
