Bulls vs Bucks

Action Network analyst Raheem Palmer previews Wednesday's Game 5 matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks.

As I’ve said before throughout our series previews, the Bucks continue to outshoot the Bulls from deep in this series and they did so again in Game 4 where they made 17-of-33 attempts from behind the arc. The Bucks continue to lock down the Bulls defensively in this series; even if the Bucks posted an average offense they’d still win these games.

The Bucks ended those thoughts immediately with back-to-back blowout wins in Games 3 and 4. In that game, the Bulls scored 114 points with 85 points coming from DeMar Derozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic on a combined. As I’ve noted throughout this series, the Bulls haven’t capitalized on the Bucks’ weaknesses, specifically defending the 3-point line. The Bulls were already facing an uphill battle against a Championship caliber Bucks defense but they’ll now have to do it without one of their best players. Outside of that game, the Bucks have mostly kept this trio in check. Now the defending champions come back home to host the Bulls at Fiserv Forum in what could be a closeout game before taking on the Boston Celtics in Eastern Conference semifinals. Antetokounmpo remains unstoppable in this series, averaging 27.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and seven assists.
