Chicago set a new franchise-playoff record for most rebounds in a game with its 64 boards (previous franchise record was 63 on March 27, 1968 vs. LAL).

In two games, Chicago has outrebounded Milwaukee 58.0 rpg to 44.5 rpg.
    • With 25 points in Game 1, followed by 31 points in Game 2, Jimmy Butler became the fourth Bull in team history to score at least 25 points in each of the team’s first two playoff games (ESPN Stats & Info.). He is joined by Michael Jordan, Derrick Rose and Luol Deng.
    • In Chicago’s 91-82 victory over Milwaukee on Monday, Joakim Noah grabbed 19 rebounds, while fellow starters Pau Gasol, Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose and Mike Dunleavy collected 16, nine, seven and six boards respectively. Chicago’s total of 57 rebounds recorded by its starting lineup was the highest by any team in a playoff win since the Celtics’ 59 rebounds in Game 5 of the 1973 Eastern Conference Finals (Elias Sports Bureau).
    • Through the first two games of this series versus Milwaukee, the Bulls have made 69 field goals off of 56 assists.
    • The Bulls are 41-22 (.651) in Game 3’s in team playoff history, including 22-13 (.629) in Game 3’s played on the road.

    I don't want to see the Bulls preparing to take the Bucks best shot. I'd much rather see the Bulls take it to them. Let's go!
