7’ Bucks center Brook Lopez gives his team a big advantage inside in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
He’s healthy after missing 67 games following back surgery and it showed in Sunday’s 93-86 win over the Chicago Bulls.
Lopez played a season-high 32 minutes and scored 18 points.
He was also a big part of a Bucks defense that held the Bulls to a season-low 32 percent shooting.
Chicago has 6’ 11” center Nikola Vucevic on the roster, but nobody taller than 6’ 8” to come off the bench and play important minutes.
