The Boston Celtics pulled out a gutsy win over the defending NBA champs at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Monday night, and now the Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks head back to the Hub with a 2-2 series stalemate.
Early in the game, the Celtics looked a little fried, while Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. were firmly in control. Boston showed real composure and pulled things together before absolutely blitzing the Bucks in the fourth quarter. The Celtics won the final frame 43-28 thanks in part to a career game from veteran big man Al Horford and star forward Jayson Tatum finding his offense at the right time.
With Game 5 on deck, let’s take a look at what we learned Monday night from some sizzling second-round action.
