What the Chicago Bulls can take from their game 2 victory is Derrick Rose didn't have to do the scoring. The Bulls still had plenty with 2014-15 All-Star Jimmy Butler dba the "See red Butler" doing what he does.
Butler led four starters in double figures with a game-high 31 points and nine boards. Throw in a few scrapes with the Bucks O.J.Mayo and Kris Middleton to add to the fire he went to the 80s Arcade with this one "NBA Jam"...He is on Fire!
In the end it was the Bulls clear advantage in the painted-area as Jo Noah and Pau Gasol combined for 17 points, thirty-five boards and seven helpers. D-Rose as quiet as he was scoring just missed a Triple-Double with 15 points waiting on nine tables with seven boards.
The Bucks make no mistake about it was in the game clearly until late in the 4th. I talked about the Bucks Bench (O.J. Mayo, Jerryd Bayless, and Jared Dudley) in the game preview with Playbook and that it was along with Middleton coming out of hid shell.
K-Middle gets a team-high 22 points as Mayo, Bayless, Dudley, and John Henson combined to out score the Bulls Bench Mob 27-16. It was the Bulls starters who closed the deal as the Bucks starters couldn't convert late due to execution and lack of experience and the Bulls knew that would be an issue for them late closing.
"See Red" had huge advantages rebounding (+16) and from the arc (+24 in points) hence the Bulls take a 2-0 lead to Milwaukee on Thursday night April 23rd at 8pm ET...
