Boston was battered in Game 1 vs. Milwaukee. With their season on the line, the Celtics returned the physicality to even the second-round series at one ...

Antetokounmpo, after two straight poor shooting performances, will likely play better when the series shifts to Milwaukee. And the Bucks defense, gashed in the first half, held Boston to 18 points in the third quarter and just 44 points in the second half. He made eight of his 11 shots in the third. Antetokounmpo, who collected a triple-double in Game 1, was held to 2-of-12 shooting in the first half. Giannis Antetokounmpo was the only Bucks player to score more than 20 points—and he needed 27 shots to get his 28. He made 10 of his 20 shots, five of his 10 threes and handed out eight assists. “We felt like we let them off the hook,” Udoka said. I knew we would come out with the right effort to tonight.” It was 65–40 at the half. It was 18–3 midway through the first quarter. The scorer but not the scorer. He made 11 of his 18 shots, six of his 10 threes and held Celtics-killer Jrue Holiday to 19 points on 7-of-20 in Boston’s 109–86 win. BOSTON — He is the other J. The All-Star, but not the MVP candidate.

But when Milwaukee worked up a 17-point lead on the road in Game 1, those assumptions about how this series would go quickly changed, ad the Bucks continue to prove that perhaps missing Middleton isn't that big of a deal. Though the Bucks fared incredibly well without Middleton in their first-round matchup against the Bulls, the Celtics are a different beast, one that has at times looked like the best team in the East.

Thanks to a hot shooting night, the Celtics bounced back after dropping Game 1 at home to the Bucks.
