What looked like a laughable matchup on paper proved amazingly close throughout the majority of the contest, as Milwaukee’s backups put up a solid effort against Boston before collapsing late in the fourth quarter to lose 112-94.
That final tally isn’t necessarily indicative of the contest overall though, as Boston was plus-16 in the fourth quarter and feasted on the defensive lineup out of Bucks fans’ nightmares. Instead, tonight should better be remembered for several strong Thon blocks, Rashad Vaughn playing briefly like someone got him with the defibrillator pregame and Spencer Hawes twirling in several more circus shots.
