NBA -- Dunleavy 3 lifts Bulls over Bucks, 91-90
By Homer D. Sayson PhilBoxing.com Sun, 15 Dec 2013

CHICAGO -- In a disappointing season of huge injury losses, the Chicago Bulls found something worth celebrating Friday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee.
Mike Dunleavy drilled a 3 with 5.8 seconds left to play and the Bulls edged the Milwaukee Bucks, 91-90. Dunleavy's heroics snapped Chicago's 3-game losing streak, bumping its record to 9-12.
It was an uphill battle for the visiting Bulls. They trailed 88-83 in the final 1:30 and they were down by 2 with Milwaukee having ball possession with just 19.2 ticks remaining in the final period.
"You've got to be able to take a punch in this league. And you've got to come back right back and deliver one. I thought our team showed a lot of fight," Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau told NBA.com
Joakim Noah had a spectacular night for Chicago with 21 points, 18 rebounds and five assists. Carlos Boozer had 14 and 12 boards while Kirk Hinrich added 13 and eight assists. Jimmy Butler returned from an 11-game absence and chipped in 16 points. Dunleavy finished with 12.
The Bucks remained the worst team in the Eastern Conference at 5-18. They got 17 from Gary Neal and 15 and eight rebounds from center John Henson. O.J. Mayo settled for 14. (Homer D. Sayson).
