Game review
What happened
The Bulls beat the Bucks 132–125 on the road. Norman Powell led them with 25 points, and Caleb Wilson added 21. For the Bucks, Tyler Herro had 34 points and 5 rebounds, making 5 of 10 threes.
What the model got right
Nic Claxton missed the game for the Bulls, as the preview expected. Our team-strength rating also had the Bulls as the stronger side (92.7 to 87.8).
What didn't work
The model leaned to the Bucks at 53%, close to a coin flip, and it got this one wrong: the Bulls won by 7. The Bulls made 28 of 30 free throws to 14 of 26 for the Bucks.
Why
The Bulls already rated slightly stronger on paper, so the pick leaned on home court, which is a thin margin. At 53% it was close to a coin flip, so a result like this happens almost half the time. It stays on our record like every other result.
