Not a banner night for Celtics defense so far, allowing 30 first quarter points to a Bucks team without Giannis and Middleton that shot just 1-of-11 from 3. – 8:12 PM

Celtics defense looks pretty bad right now. There’s been some confusion and that foul by Richardson ties the game at 30 heading into the 2nd quarter. Not the type of defensive effort you want against the shorthanded Bucks – 8:09 PM

Bobby Portis has 10 points on 5 of 6 shooting in the opening 8.5 minutes of the first quarter. The #Bucks trail 21-17 — they’re shooting just 11.1% from behind the three-point line. – 8:02 PM

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) a late scratch for the Bucks, the #Celtics instead have their hands full with Bobby Portis who has 10 pts on 5/6 shooting in just eight minutes. The rest of Milwaukee’s players are just 2/11 shooting. – 8:01 PM

This is a game where Udoka can mostly run one-big lineups. That could/should open up minutes for Romeo Langford, Aaron Nesmith and Payton Pritchard. – 8:00 PM

10 points for Schroder. He’s done a nice job getting inside on the small Bucks on a few drives. – 7:59 PM

If Boston is going to post Horford (and they should be against Connaughton, Allen and Ojeleye), they have to clear out and give him room. The poor spacing has allowed Milwaukee to double-team twice for turnovers already. – 7:54 PM

The volume of both is obviously likely to come down once this team is fully healthy but Grayson Allen is on pace for 300 made threes and 720 attempts
The Bucks records for both (229 and 528) were set by Ray Allen in 2001-02 – 7:22 PM

If you’re wondering, the last time the Bucks came to Boston as defending world champions; February 13, 1972.
Kareem had 51-17 and 7 assists, playing all 48 minutes in a 117-109 road win. JoJo White had 31, Havlicek 2 rebounds from a triple double. – 7:19 PM

Since he entered the NBA in 2013, this is just the second time in 39 games that Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) has missed a game against the Celtics.
The other was a DNP-CD on the last day of the 2016-17 season. – 6:23 PM
