Game of the Season

Coming off a stunning Game 4 victory in the first round of the playoffs against the Chicago Bulls, the Bucks looked to up the ante in Game 5.

Carter-Williams was pretty much a non-factor in the games before and even was on the bench, in favor of Jerryd Bayless, during the critical comeback in Game 4.

So the pressure was on him, and the team, to see if they could keep this improbable run going.

Carter-Williams responded in the best way possible, putting up 22 points, while going 10 for 15 from the field, piling up eight rebounds and dishing out nine assists.

He even turned his ankle in the middle of the third quarter and came back shortly thereafter going toe to toe against former MVP Derrick Rose to hold the lead and force a Game 6.

While there were glimpses leading up to this, it was the biggest showing of what Carter-Williams is capable of and what Bucks fans hope to see more in the future.
