I had already started thinking about what a comfortable Celtics win over the Bucks might tell us about this team when Milwaukee decided to rewrite that narrative.
Boston led by as many as 22 points Wednesday night, held the Bucks to 14 in the first quarter and went into halftime up 62-41. Considering Milwaukee entered the game at 1-6, and the Celtics were playing without Jayson Tatum for the first time this season, things were looking awesome.
Then Tyler Herro caught fire, Boston’s offense went missing and the Bucks somehow found themselves leading in the fourth quarter.
