The Milwaukee Bucks were nothing short of a defensive power house in Friday nights 111-81 win over the Chicago Bulls in game three of their best-of-seven playoff series.
Bucks now leading the series 2-1.
The Bulls started the game up 3-2 then the bucks scored and refused to look back. Grayson Allen led all scorers with 22 points off the bench, hitting 5 threes and notching a new career high playoff record.
Grayson is just abusing #Bulls fans tonight.

Bobby Portis got the start for the injured Khris Middleton, dropping 18 points, 8 of which came from the first 4 minutes of the game.
“[Portis] has an edge, he’s got a competitiveness, shot making, you know I think him coming out making shots early was important for us,” said Head Coach Mike Budenholzer
Portis buries a three at the buzzer to give the #Bucks a 90-59 lead entering the 4th quarter.
