The Milwaukee Bucks gave the Chicago Bulls fans a beautiful gift this evening - hope - even if for a fleeting second that was a gracious gesture before they slammed the door shut with a fourth quarter crushing that netted a 118-112 win.
Milwaukee kept it close throughout the first, so close in fact it was tied between the two at 25 apiece. The Bucks went up by as much as 14 in the second period, but allowed Chicago to claw their way back within 53-57 by halftime. Unfortunately, the Bulls continued that momentum into the third and bullrushed the Bucks to take an 88-81 advantage heading into the final period.
