Roundup: Bulls and Celtics Move Within a Game of Sweeping Their First-Round Series

Derrick Rose scored 34 points, Jimmy Butler added 24 and the Chicago Bulls beat the host Milwaukee Bucks, 113-106, in double overtime Thursday to take a 3-0 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series.

Butler got the second overtime off to a rousing start, intercepting a backcourt pass from Giannis Antetokounmpo and racing in for a layup. It set the tone for an 8-0 run that gave Chicago a 109-101 lead with 2 minutes 44 seconds left over the Bucks.

Rose atoned for a missed free throw with four seconds left in regulation that left the score tied.
