Notes from the Timberwolves and around the NBA
The home teams took control in the 4th quarter and won to take 2-0 series leads in both playoff games last night. The Bulls beat the Bucks behind Jimmy Butler's huge final period during which he equaled the point output (14) of the Bucks on his own. Butler finished with 31, a playoff career high, and the Bulls won 91-82 and head to Milwaukee with a commanding series lead.
The Warriors withstood a hot start by the Pelicans and took game two of their series 97-87.
