Derrick Rose has really struggled in the last 2 games and while he has combined for 27 points he has only shot 5/20 from the floor in Game 5 and he missed all of his 7 3-point attempts. He and Jimmy Butler were 10/41 from the field in Game 5 and if they shoot the rock like that again there is a good chance there will be a Game 7.
Michael Carter-Williams scored 22 points and had 9 assists in Game 5, which he sprained his ankle and while he will not be 100% he will go tonight.
To say the Bulls were cold in Game 5 would be an understatement, as they shot 34.4% from the floor and only hit 4 of their 18 3-pointers.
The Bulls not only have to shoot the ball better, but play better perimeter D facing the Bucks’ guards of Carter-Williams and Khris Middleton, who combined for 43 points in Game 5 and each shot at least 50% from the field.
The Bulls have had 2 days to regroup after the Game 5 loss and in their last 2 games after 2 day absences Rose has scored 23 points and 34 points respectively.
