3. Jerryd Bayless hits buzzer beater against the Chicago Bulls.

Who doesn’t love a good buzzer-beater? Especially against the Chicago Bulls!

On April 25, 2015, the Bucks were on the verge of getting swept out of the playoffs by their division-rival, the Bulls. Fortunately, the team had other plans and were able to pull out this victory in the most exciting of ways.

The game was close from the get-go including 10 ties and 13 lead changes, with neither team ever able to pull too far ahead of the other.

Jimmy Butler was fantastic for the Bulls on both sides of the ball, as he scored 33 points and locked down a young Giannis Antetokounmpo like he had for most of the series. Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol also helped carry the scoring load for Chicago as they scored 14 and 16 points respectively.

Milwaukee used a much more balanced approach including six or more points from all nine guys who played in the game. The bench was especially productive, outscoring the starters 47-45.

Jerryd Bayless was one of the key cogs off the pine, chipping in 10 points including the final two at the buzzer.

With the game tied with 1.3 seconds remaining, Milwaukee was inbounding the ball form the side-out position. Bayless, who began on the right-block, began to run to the left corner toward the inbounders side before jetting back to the basket. Jared Dudley, the inbounder, then hit him a beautiful, accurate and on-time pass back at Bayless’ original starting point and he laid it up for a bunny as time expired and the Bucks won 92-90.
