The Chicago Bulls fell to the New Orleans Pelicans in a 123-111 loss to open their season. On Friday, the squad had an opportunity to bounce back, and they did just that as they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 133-122 in a high-scoring battle.

Bulls guard Coby White led the way for Chicago, scoring 35 points while knocking down 12 of his 20 shots and seven of his 13 3-pointers in the contest. The entire starting lineup poured in help, with Zach LaVine adding 25 points while shooting 2-of-6 on 3-pointers.

Those two 3-pointers from the star guard not only helped the Bulls to a big win -- their first of the season -- but etched his name further into franchise history. LaVine became the No. 2 player on the Bulls' all-time 3-pointers list, trailing none other than Kirk Heinrich.

Zach LaVine just became the 2nd player in team history with 1000 made threes with the Bulls.

Since joining the club, LaVine has now knocked down 1,000 3-pointers, an incredible feat for a player who has been through plenty since landing in Chicago.

As a team, the Bulls nailed 21 of their 47 attempts from beyond the arc, leading them to a 133 points outburst against the Bucks, a solid Eastern Conference team. They now advance to 1-1 on the season with their next contest being their home opener against a very solid Oklahoma City Thunder team.

Lonzo Ball will make his return to the hardwood as he sat the first night of the team's back-to-back, too.
