Of all the predictions for how Game of the Eastern Conference semifinals might play out, Grant Williams leading the Boston Celtics in scoring against the defending NBA champions was not high on anyone's list.
Dared to shoot by the Milwaukee Bucks, Williams made seven of Boston's 20 3-pointers in a resounding 109-81 victory to eliminate two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the league's 2021 champions.
Jayson Tatum finished with 23 points, eight assists and six rebounds for the Celtics. Jaylen Brown added 19 points, but it was Boston's role players who turned a close first half into a rout.
