The Celtics and Bucks have had plenty of epic battles in recent years, and matchups between the two typically feature no shortage of subplots and storylines.
While the Celtics make a conscious effort to treat every game the same, Al Horford acknowledged that the rivalry with Milwaukee does feel different than many other games.
“No question,” Horford told reporters. “There are certain teams that it just does.”
It showed through his play Friday night, as an energized Horford helped cement a 111-105 win over the Bucks at TD Garden.
