Celtics third-quarter woes strike again - for the third time

It happened for the third time - once again in the third quarter. Boston had it right in Game One of the Milwaukee series. They stretched the lead in the 3rd period and took the game. Not so in Games Two and Three. It was Milwaukee that took over in the third quarter of both games to go up in the series, 2-1. Ditto for Game 4's 113-101 loss last night - and the Bucks go up 3-1 in the East Semis.

Giannis Antetokounmpo sat down at the 8:18 mark of the 3rd period with the score tied at 59-59.
