1. This was another “good” loss for the Boston Celtics. Much like the game in Toronto last week, shorthanded Boston gave the Milwaukee Bucks everything they could before falling late.
For some, it might even be a good loss because it, combined with Philadelphia stumbling in Toronto, has the Celtics in line for the 3-seed. Given the desire of many to avoid a first-round matchup with Brooklyn, that’s probably a good thing.
In the end, more than seeding, this was an encouraging game. Once again, Boston proved that they’ll fight every night. No matter who is available or who the opponent is, the Celtics believe they can win.
