1/8 Finals Round 1: Chicago B. - Milwaukee B. 103-91

Date: April 18, 2015
Derrick Rose scored 23 points in his first playoff game in three years and the Bulls topped the Milwaukee Bucks 103-91 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Playoffs Saturday at the United Center. Jimmy Butler scored a playoff career-high 25 points and Aaron Brooks provided a spark off the bench with 13 points. The story of the night, though, was Rose's return to postseason action. The Bulls believe they are poised to make a run now that they finally have Rose playing in the postseason. The last time they had him for the duration of the playoffs, he capped an MVP season by leading them to the Eastern Conference finals in 2011. Chicago lost to Miami, and what happened after that is well documented. The Bulls earned the No. 1 seed for the second straight year in 2012, only to have Rose tear his ACL late in a lopsided playoff-opening win over Philadelphia. Chicago lost in the first round to the 76ers and had its championship hopes placed on hold, with Rose sitting out a year and having his comeback get cut short last season by a torn meniscus in his right knee. This was a good start. Chicago took a 60-51 lead to the locker room after getting 17 points from Butler and 12 from Rose. The star point guard headed to the sideline to a loud ovation with 1:37 left after throwing down a hard two-handed off a feed from Butler in transition and then scoring on a neat reverse layup that brought the bench to its feet. The Bucks pulled within three early in the third, but the Bulls answered with a 15-7 run. Rose hit three 3-pointers during that stretch, including one that made it 77-66 with 4:33 left in the quarter. Courtesy of: wgntv.com
