The Celtics accounted for and adjusted appropriately against the Bucks strengths, and they countered with their own right-hook on Tuesday night.
Semi Ojeyele started in his first career playoff game, Marcus Smart mercifully made his return to the Celtics lineup, and Al Horford bounced back for another dominant night in which he finished with 22 points and 14 rebounds, along with 3 assists and 2 blocks. It was a good night for a change.
Your Celtics will now travel to Milwaukee and hope to put this series away on Thursday night. Final Score: 92-87
The Game Flow
The Celtics and Bucks exchanged opening jabs (figuratively, this time) and remained within one or two possessions of one another through much of the first quarter.
