The Chicago Bulls (10) grabbed a 10 series lead in their 103 - 91 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks (0 - 1). Taj Gibson left late in the fourth quarter due to a right knee strain. According to the team, he could have returned and should be fine for the next game. In his first playoff game since April 28, 2012, Derrick Rose scored 23 points, recorded seven assists, notched two steals, blocked one shot and hit three three - pointers in 27 minutes. His first half playing time was cut short due to foul trouble, but coach Tom Thibodeau didn’t remove Rose until 51 seconds remaining, even though the Bulls were ahead by 14. Jimmy Butler scored a playoff career - high 25 points on 8 - of - 14 shooting in 35 minutes. Pau Gasol was held to 10 points on 5 - of - 17 shooting and 13 rebounds in 36 minutes, significant given his 46 - point, 18 - rebound performance against the Bucks earlier this season. The Bucks were unable to channel their first - quarter scoring through the rest of the game. After shooting 59 percent in the opening period, they closed the contest shooting 33 percent over the final three quarters, concluding the fourth quarter with 16 points. Khris Middleton scored a team - high 18 points and nabbed four steals in 34 minutes. John Henson and Jerryd Bayless, both reserves, were the only Bucks to shoot at least 50 percent from the floor. After closing out the regular season with a block in 11 straight contests, Henson failed to block any shots in 26 minutes off the bench. Both teams will resume the series Monday night at the United Center.
