Chicago won 132-125 in an afternoon game in Milwaukee, moved four hours earlier because the Brewers hosted World Series Game 1. No. 4 pick Caleb Wilson, who had nine turnovers in the opener, scored 19 of his 21 points after halftime and made four late free throws. Norman Powell scored 25 and Leonard Miller 19 on 7-of-11. Coach Tiago Splitter closed with Tre Jones (plus-24 off the bench) and Isaac Okoro over Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis, but said the starting lineup won't change for Saturday's home opener. Tyler Herro scored 34 for the 0-2 Bucks.
