The Milwaukee Bucks could wrap up their first round playoff series Wednesday.
The Bucks had back-to-back wins Friday and Sunday after losing last Wednesday.
Sunday’s game in Chicago was a decisive win. The score was 119-95. Grayson Allen set playoff career highs with 27 points and six three-pointers. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 32 points and 17 rebounds. It was the most lopsided home playoff loss in franchise history.

The defending NBA champions led by 22 early in the third quarter and steadied themselves after a push by Chicago. The Bucks lead the best of seven series 3-1. A win Wednesday would send them to the Eastern Conference semifinals to play either the Boston Celtics or the Brooklyn Nets. The Celtics are leading that series 3-0.
Khris Middleton will miss the rest of the playoff series against Chicago, ESPN reports. He sprained the MCL in his left knee in last week’s game.
