Jerryd Bayless poured in 26-points and tied a career-high with six-three pointers to help the Milwaukee Bucks win for the first time this season, 103-96 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

The Bucks blew a nine-point halftime lead.  The game was tied at 80 going into the fourth quarter, and the Bucks’ defense held the Nets to just 16-points in the final period.

Center Greg Monroe had 23 points and 13 rebounds, but Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams hurt his left ankle late in the game.

The Bucks will host the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night and will welcome forward Jabari Parker to the lineup for the first time since he tore his A-C-L last December.

Parker was cleared by doctors to return yesterday.

The Bucks are 1-3 on the season.   They’ll return to the practice floor later today.

 

Bucks force a fifth game in Chicago

After the Milwaukee Bucks defense forced yet another Chicago turnover, Jared Dudley found Jerryd Bayless with an inbound pass that resulted in a game winning lay-up and a 92-90 victory over the Chicago Bulls at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.  The victory sends the series back to Chicago for game five of the series on Monday night.

Khris Middleton stole the ball from Derrick Rose and while Middleton was attempting a half court shot, Bucks coach Jason Kidd was in the ear of a referee, shouting for a timeout.  He got it, with 1.3-seconds left.  Kidd drew up the game winning play and his players executed to perfection.

The Bucks pulled out the victory with veterans on the floor.  They ended a nine-game playoff losing streak, dating back to their first-round series against Atlanta back in 2010.

O.J. Mayo, who hit a big three with 1:42 to play, led the Bucks with 18 points.  Dudley finished with 13 and Bayless 10.  Mayo also hit 4-of-6 from beyond the arc.  Dudley was 3 for 4.

The Bucks forced 28 Chicago turnovers, which led to 39 points.

Jimmy Butler scored a career playoff-high 33 points, but the Bucks defensively held the rest of the Bulls in check.  Pau Gasol had 16 points and Derrick Rose 14 points for Chicago.

After Bayless missed a layup, Zaza Pachulia saved the ball right to Khris Middleton, who buried the game-winning three-pointer. [Read more…]
