The Milwaukee Bucks lost their home season finale Monday night, 151-35 to the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls shot 67-percent, the highest ever by a Bucks opponent and the 151 points were the third highest against Milwaukee in a regulation game.

Both teams scored season-highs and Ramon Sessions broke a Bucks’ team record with 24 assists.

Milwaukee was up 45-39 after a free-wheeling first quarter, but Chicago used a 17-3 run in the second quarter to go ahead for good.

Luol Deng had 32 points for the Bulls and Ben Gordon scored 29 off the bench.

Andrew Bogut led Milwaukee with 25 and he had career-highs with nine free throws in 14 attempts.

The Bucks lost their seventh straight and they’ll finish their season Wednesday night at Minnesota.

Then Coach Larry Krystkowiak is expected to be fired by new General Manager John Hammond.

Monday night, Krystkowiak said things would have been different if he could do it over again. He said some of what happened was, “self-inflicted” and some was external – but beyond that, “no sour apples here.”
