Middleton out for Milwaukee, Smart for Boston. Udoka goes for the like for like replacement with White instead of Pritchard, for his defense. This kid's too talented to be in the limited role he plays for them though, either play him or allow him to flourish elsewhere jeez. Boston start on a 7-0 run, Lopez crowding Brown forces a turnover and transition Portis and1. Brown stifling Holiday defensively and getting it done on the other end. Giannis having no success, but it's not like they're leaving people open to send help either. Udoka then puts Pritchard in when the Bucks can matchup defensive guard Carter who would otherwise have no purpose, right. Boston up 11 at the quarter break and 25 at the half. Brown with 25 himself, Horford a good half, Lopez without a field goal attempt. The Bucks go on a 10-0 run in the 3rd, but Boston still up 17 ending the term. Milwaukee making little headway, Celtics even up the series. Boston shot marginally better from the field, lights out from 3, while the Bucks a woeful 17% from there. Boston took care of the ball, while the Bucks had equal assists to turnovers. Brown with an efficient 30 points, 6 assists, 5 boards, 2 steals. Tatum an efficient 29 points, 8 assists, 3 steals. Horford 11 points, 11 boards, 4 steals. Grant Williams 21 points, 5 boards, off the bench, 6 of 9 from outside. For the Bucks, Giannis an inefficient 28 points, 7 assists, 9 boards, 6 turnovers. Portis 13 points, 8 boards.
