As the regular season nears its end, the Boston Celtics are a team with little left to play for, with the NBA’s best record locked up and a 15-game lead over second-place in the Eastern Conference. Facing those second-place Bucks on Tuesday night, they looked like it — a lackluster effort set up their second blowout loss to Milwaukee this season, as they trailed for the final 46 minutes en route to a 104-91 defeat.
The Celtics lacked the services of their starting frontcourt this evening, as both Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring, rest) and Al Horford (toe) sat out the contest.
