Milwaukee moved past the Eastern Conference Semifinals by knocking off Chicago 4-3 thanks to a 109-98 win over Chicago, aided by great preparation by coach Bob. "They did everything right," said Chicago coach Bob. "That's really all there was to the game. They made the best of the chances we gave them, and didn't give us any really good shots of our own. My hat is off to Bob; he did a heck of a job."

Said Bob, "It was one of those games every coach dreams of. Everything went as hoped. Especially Valentine - without his effort it would have been a tight game."

Milwaukee was led by Valentine (11 points, 13 boards, 2 assists, a steal, 4 blocks), Martinez (10 points, 13 assists, a steal, a block), Thomas (27 points, 5 boards, 0 assists).
