How the Celtics’ defense contained Giannis in Game 2 of the Boston – Milwaukee Bucks series

It might have seemed like a minor adjustment, but it paid off big time.

How did the Boston Celtics disrupt the best-laid plans of Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo on offense in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series with the defending NBA champs? How did it differ from the way the Celtics guarded the Greek Freak in Game 1? And what can we expect to see in the rest of the series moving forward as the East semis head to Wisconsin for a pair of games on Milwaukee’s home court?

These are the array of questions tackled recently on the Volume “Hoops Tonight” podcast, which saw host Jason Timpf dive into all things Celtics – Bucks on the most recent episode of his pod.

After Game 1, it looked like Boston might be out of their depth, and the script was flipped with Game 2’s blowout win in favor of the Celtics.

Check out the clip embedded above to get Timpf’s take on how things might unfold in the future of the series.
