MILWAUKEE — The NBA is wide open this season, as you may have heard pundits say a few thousand times. The era of the super team is over, and there are half a dozen (or more) teams with a legitimate shot at winning a championship.
Or are there?
Milwaukee beat Boston on Thursday. The Bucks built a 27-point lead in the first half, took a foot off the gas in the third and let the Celtics whittle it to six, started to care again and swelled the lead back to 19 at the end of the quarter before settling for a 128-123 win.
