Opening their season on the road, against both a talented team and a tough crowd, calling the Milwaukee Bucks “up to the challenge” would be an understatement. Their 108-100 win over the Boston Celtics was a tight contest from tip-off to the final buzzer, as every player on both teams came to work.
The game started slowly, but the points started rolling in once the pace was sufficiently quickened. And with that faster pace came with it a palpable tension that few fans expected in the first game of the season. Boston played like a team with something to prove, and Milwaukee managed to match their intensity when it mattered most.
