Fans React as Grayson Allen Plays Role of Ultimate Heel in Bucks' Big Win vs. Bulls

Timothy RappApr 24, 2022

If there was one player Chicago Bulls fans didn't want to see thrive in the team's first-round matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, it was Grayson Allen, given his history with Alex Caruso. 

So Sunday's Game 4 in Chicago was a particular gut punch. 

Allen torched the Bulls for 27 points, hitting six threes off the bench, as the Bucks won 119-95 and took a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.

Giannis Antetokounmpo added 32 points, 17 rebounds and seven assists for the Bucks, who won without star Khris Middleton yet again. DeMar DeRozan (23 points, 8-of-20 FG) and Zach LaVine (24 points, 8-of-18 FG) had spotty games for Chicago.

But Allen was the main story Sunday, especially after he followed up his 22-point Game 3 with another huge showing:

Allen was extremely efficient, hitting 10 of 12 shots from the field. And even his own teammates got into the act, fake booing him after he sunk a three to end the third quarter while Jrue Holiday mock-requested more noise from the Chicago crowd. 

It was the ultimate heel performance. 

And now, the Bulls find themselves on life support in these playoffs, needing to win three in a row against the defending champs. Game 5 heads back to Milwaukee on Wednesday, and Bulls fans would surely love nothing more than to see the team force a Game 6 and return to Chicago. 

It would be one more chance to boo Allen, though that hasn't exactly worked out for them thus far.
