Boston against. Milwaukee: Bucks defeat Celtics, 116-91.
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2001, YOUR MILWAUKEE BUCKS WILL GO TO THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS.
The Boston Celtics were defeated 116-91 by the Bucks, who advanced to the next round of the NBA playoffs and will now face either the Toronto Raptors or the Philadelphia 76ers.
There was no time spent in Fiserv Forum to get this one started, and you can expect it to be noisy when that’s the case when the hometown team is about to make the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in almost two decades. The Bucks would swiftly jump out to an 8-0 lead, which was capped off by a three-pointer from Eric Bledsoe. Nevertheless, despite Kyrie Irving and Al Horford shooting 3-of-16 combined, Boston would weather the storm. The Bucks would lead 22–19 at the end of the quarter thanks to a three-pointer from George Hill.
The second quarter’s positive news? Boston would shoot only 25.5 percent from the field at the half’s conclusion. While the Bucks’ shooting wasn’t getting much better,
Even if their shooting wasn’t much better, the Bucks managed to pace themselves well enough to take a 52-39 lead into the third quarter. After two periods, Nikola Mirotic would lead the scoring with ten points. George Hill, coming off the bench, tied Eric Bledsoe with nine of his own.
There were moments throughout the third quarter when there was a slight ugly shift between the two sides. To truly begin driving a stake through the Celtics’ heart, the Bucks would, nevertheless, throw most of their punches and score a couple of runs. It wouldn’t take long for Boston to finally fold and show its true colors, giving the Bucks a route to the Eastern Conference Finals in the process. Milwaukee, it’s time to celebrate. Allow to Soak.
Even though the Bucks defeated the opposition handily, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored the most points of any player with a cool 20. While doing so, he would grab eight rebounds and dish up eight assists, flirting with a triple-double. Eric Bledsoe chipped in with eighteen points, while Khris Middleton scored a scorching 19 points.
With 15 points, Kyrie Irving led the Boston Celtics. Marcus Morris and Jayson Tatum tied each other with 14 points.
Three Points of Interest
Malcolm, welcome back!
Malcolm Brogdon has finally made his way back to the basketball floor. For the first time in weeks, he onto the court and was met with a standing ovation from the Bucks faithful, who found him to be a welcoming sight. Admittedly, I believed he.
Watching this Bucks defense is a lot of fun.
We are all aware of the turning point in this series. After the first game, it was obvious that something needed to change, and that something would be the Bucks switching. However, the Milwaukee defense’s lockdown last night—and indeed, throughout this entire series—was absurd. In every game these two teams played, Boston struggled to generate any kind of meaningful lead. After the game yesterday night, the Celtics’ impressive shooting performance looked like this: 29 out of 93. Oh my, very wonderful. When those numbers are arranged side by side, it looks really strange. If you’re not near a calculator, I’ll do the quick math. That amounts to 31.2%.
