Michael Carter-Williams throws Mike Dunleavy down (Video)
By Sam Richmond
Michael Carter-Williams was assessed a technical foul after he pushed Mike Dunleavy to the court.
While Game 6 of the Chicago Bulls-Milwaukee Bucks first-round series hasn’t been remotely close, it’s been somewhat interesting due to a lot of pushing and shoving with Mike Dunleavy at the center of it.

This surely seems to be payback from Carter-Williams to Dunleavy after the Bulls shooting guard hit the Bucks point guard in the face in the first quarter.
Mike Dunleavy, everyone! https://t.co/FlPQ8JBvnx

Giannis Antetokounmpo first retaliated to the punch by tackling Dunleavy while he was taking a three towards the end of the first-half (he was ejected), but it appears Carter-Williams wanted his own piece of Dunleavy as well.
While Dunleavy might ultimately get suspended for a future game because of his punch, he certainly will have the last laugh over Carter-Williams, Antetokounmpo and the rest of the Bucks. The Bulls lead 91-52 after three quarters.
