    Game Notes

    • In Game Three, Derrick Rose scored 34 points and Jimmy Butler added 24 points to lead Chicago to a double-overtime win over Milwaukee. In the series, Butler has scored 80 points and Rose has totaled 72 points. The only other Bulls teammates each to score 70-plus points in the first three games of a playoff series, all wins, are Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen (1992, first round versus Miami) and Luol Deng and Ben Gordon (2007, first round versus Miami; Elias Sports Bureau).
    • In their three games versus Milwaukee, the Bulls have held the Bucks to 24 or fewer points in seven of the 16 quarters played, including three quarters with 16 or fewer points.
    • Dating back to the Bulls inaugural season in 1966-67, this is Chicago’s 66th playoff series. With a win in Game 4, Chicago will sweep its 13th playoffs series in franchise history; a series sweep of the Bucks would also mark the fourth four-game sweep in Bulls postseason history.

    This one will be tough. One team's back is against the wall and the other keeps reading about how no NBA team has ever lost a playoff series after being up 3-0. Although the Bulls are up 3-0, they haven't really dominated the Bucks.

    Not liking the officiating so far. They're letting too much with the hands go. Players shouldn't be encouraged to slap away.

    Hinrich has 0 minutes.

    I bet he finishes with 0 unless there's garbage time.

    Of course, the Bucks don't deserve to win this game either.

    Bulls shooting 51%, and holding the Bucks to 40% . Outrebounding the bucks 30-26, 20 assists on 25 baskets.

    This is on the road and after our really old guys played big minutes in 2OT.
