Survive. That seems like the correct term for the Bucks on Wednesday night, as they needed a clutch Khris Middleton three-pointer with just five seconds left to put away the visiting Chicago Bulls 116-113.
With the win, the Bucks improved to 6-0 on the season coming off losses, bouncing back from their Monday night loss in Charlotte to the Hornets. The Bucks are now 15-6 on the season, and the loss dropped the Bulls to 5-17 on the year.
In many ways, the second tilt between these two teams followed the same template from the first matchup at Fiserv Forum on November 16.
