Ersan Ilyasova chipped in 16 points in the win with Khris Middleton going for 14. O.J. Mayo finished with 13 points off the bench as Milwaukee snapped its two-game skid and maintained control of the sixth-seed in the East. Jimmy Butler scored 25 to lead the Bulls with Pau Gasol going for 14 points and 11 rebounds. Chicago sits two-and-a-half games out of the second spot in the East and saw its three-game winning streak end.
The Bulls are at home Friday night against Detroit. Pre-Game Show begins at 6:30 on Newstalk 1060.
There is still no timetable for when Derrick Rose will be back on the court. Rose talked with reporters before Chicago's road loss against the Bucks last night. He said he felt good following two straight days of scrimmages but needs a little more time to regain strength in his knee and build his wind. When asked if he will be able to make it back before the end of the regular season, Rose responded with "Who knows?" The guard underwent knee surgery on February 27th to repair a torn meniscus.
