Jrue Holiday scores 40 points to beat Celtics 131-125 in overtime

Derrick White put his hands over his ears as Fiserv Forum voiced its displeasure over an overtime foul call on Jevon Carter. Mike Budenholzer lost his challenge four periods earlier as the Malcolm Brogdon prepared to retake the lead at the free throw line.

Jrue Holiday took eight seconds to turn their boos and twirling fingers into raucous cheers. Holiday scored 40 points and recorded three steals, pulling the game from the Celtics late as his fourth. Milwaukee beat a undermanned Celtics team, 131-125, after Sam Hauser drained a last-second three to force overtime. White, the east’s player of the week, poured in 27 points and 12 assists, leading six Celtics, including Hauser to double-figure scoring.
