Milwaukee Bucks stay alive vs. Chicago Bulls

The Bucks won't stop here.

Michael Carter-Williams scored eight of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and Milwaukee staved off elimination yet again with a 94-88 victory over the Bulls in Chicago.

Carter-Williams battled through an ankle injury and shot 10-of-15 from the field while adding nine assists and eight rebounds for the Bucks, who needed a buzzer-beating Jerryd Bayless layup to save their season in Game 4.

The young upstarts were much more convincing on Monday, leading the entire second half and making the United Center crowd a non-factor most of the night.

Khris Middleton finished with 21 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo chipped in with 11, and John Henson pulled down a game-high 14 rebounds in addition to key baskets and defense down the stretch.

The Bulls only turned it over 13 times -- 15 fewer than their mistake-filled attempt at a sweep over the weekend -- but they shot just 7-of-30 (23.3 percent) from the field in the fourth quarter and 34.4 percent overall.

Derrick Rose struggled in particular with just 13 points on 5-of-20 shooting, while Pau Gasol and Jimmy Butler both contributed double-doubles for a combined 45 points and 20 boards.

The series shifts back to Milwaukee for Game 6 on Thursday.
