NBA Playoffs 2018, Milwaukee vs. Boston: Turnovers Cost Bucks Shot at Stealing Game One

It may have been a winnable game thanks to a miracle shot, but the Milwaukee Bucks hit plenty of other stumbling blocks along the way to a 113-107 overtime loss in Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. Milwaukee opened up a lead with just a few minutes left in the first, but coughed it away to allow Boston to regain control, 29-17 after one. The Bucks bombshelled Boston early and often in the second, as a horrific shooting quarter for the C’s helped Milwaukee stake a 47-44 advantage at half. Boston bounced back in the third, and a late Khris Middleton baseline jumper brought the Bucks to within 70-66 as the third quarter ended.
