Celtics shoot their way past Bucks and 9 other takeaways from Boston vs. Milwaukee

1. With Jaylen Brown sidelined due to a sore foot, Semi Ojeleye drew the start and he delivered. Ojeleye opened both halves as the primary defender on Giannis Antetokounmpo, but his contributions didn’t stop there. Ojeleye scored 10 points (only his third time in double figures in his career), grabbed five rebounds and picked up two steals. When a guy like Ojeleye is your 11th man, your depth is over-the-top ridiculous.

2. Boston basically shot themselves in to—and almost out of—the game. They struggled early on to hit three-pointers, but then got ridiculously hot and finished one short of the NBA record, as they hit 24 total triples as a team.
