It’s not so often that we see an upset within the game, even during the last minutes of play, and this is exactly what happened last night.
For those who watched the game, the Boston Celtics was more consistent and a better team throughout the game, losing the first quarter by two points and winning the second and third quarter, the team from Boston was better in almost all given stats. And if you tuned in three minutes before the end of the game, the Celtics were still winning (and playing better than the Milwaukee Bucks).
It turns out that Mike Budenholzer’s team beat the Boston Celtics in the TD Garden 110-107 on May 11 as Giannis Antetokounmpo had probably his best game this season (certainly the most important, scoring 40 points and catching 11 rebounds). In addition, Jrue Holiday simply schooled everyone on the defensive aspect catching 8 rebounds, scoring 24 points and being fundamental for guarding the Celtics.
Marcus Smart was inspired for three-point shots scoring 15 points, Tatum scored 34 points and Jaylen Brown had 26 for the Celtics, but that wasn’t enough and now they must win on Sunday to force a seventh game and eventually beat the Milwaukee Bucks in the playoffs.
Boston’s turnover issue somewhat improved, but it continued to be a headache for the team, ironically in the last seconds of the game, (yes again), the Celtics lost the ball to the Bucks, so the game ended in an emblematic way of Boston’s problems, losing the ball in the offensive.
Fear the Deer!
