An up-and-down season for Coby White and the Chicago Bulls ended Wednesday night with the Milwaukee Bucks finishing off a 4–1 first-round series win.
With Chicago missing its starting backcourt of All-Star Zach Lavine (health and safety protocols) and Alex Caruso (concussion protocol), White had his most productive game of the series in Milwaukee’s 116–100 home victory in Game 5.
In a series-high 31 minutes, 33 seconds, White came off the bench to score a series-high 17 points with a series-high four 3-pointers, three rebounds and a series-high four assists.
The Bulls were once at the top of the Eastern Conference standings but struggled down the stretch after the season-ending injury to point guard Lonzo Ball and finished sixth.
Tony Bradley got into a game for the second time in the series, going scoreless with a rebound and an assist in two minutes.
Danny Green, Reggie Bullock and Cameron Johnson each play road games with their teams leading first-round series 3–2, with each having a chance to advance Thursday night.
Green’s Philadelphia 76ers face the Toronto Raptors at 7 p.m. (NBATV), Johnson’s Phoenix Suns take on the New Orleans Pelicans at 7:30 p.m. (TNT) and Bullock’s Dallas Mavericks meet the Utah Jazz at 10 p.m. (TNT).
