Bulls eliminate Bucks 120-66, Cavaliers up next

Mike Dunleavy scored 20 points and the Bulls came close to an NBA playoff record, finally putting away the Bucks with a 120-66 victory in Game 6 to clinch their first-round series Thursday night.

The Bulls, who move on to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round, finished four points from the NBA playoff record for largest margin of victory. Minnesota beat St. Louis 133-75 on March 19, 1956.

Pau Gasol scored 19 points and Jimmy Butler added 16 for the Bulls. In an indication of Milwaukee's misery on offense, no Bucks starter scored more than Zaza Pachulia's eight points. It was the biggest playoff loss in team history.
