In what could very well be a preview of a playoff matchup a couple months down the road, the Bucks knocked off the Boston Celtics, 98-97.
Both teams were clearly rusty out of the gates. It’d take a while for everyone to find their footing, and understandably so considering this was the first game after the All-Star break. Following one, Milwaukee would be down 22-20. At half, they’d rebound for a 53-47 lead.
It’d be pretty even until the late minutes of the game where the drama was flowing profusely. After a very confusing series of events that ended up being ruled a shot clock violation on Milwaukee, Kyrie Irving would miss what would’ve been a game-winning shot, giving Milwaukee the huge win.
