The Milwaukee Bucks are one game away from tying their NBA playoff series with the Chicago Bulls thanks to a 94-88 triumph in game five at United Center.
Chicago raced out to a 3-0 lead in the first-round matchup, but Milwaukee have won two in a row, including a buzzer-beating victory in game four, to keep alive their hopes of causing an upset.
Last night on the road they got 22 points and nine rebounds from Michael Carter-Williams on 10-15 shooting, but it was their defence down the stretch that made the difference.
The visitors made several blocks in the closing minutes to hold off the Bulls, who will have their third opportunity to close out the series and advance to a Eastern Conference semi-final against the Cleveland Cavaliers in game six on Thursday in Milwaukee.
