When Giannis Antetokounmpo got in the post against Aron Baynes, or whoever the Celtics placed in front of him his length proved to be a near-impossible edge. Baynes pressed into him late in the second quarter, Antetokounmpo countered with a spin move, bursting by Baynes on baseline and extending him arm to flip the ball into the net.
Antetokounmpo dunked through traffic, stopped on dimes to hit leaning jumpers and rushed out in transition when the Celtics committed turnovers. He shot 5-of-11 in the first half with 15 points, nine rebounds, only stopped momentarily by loose balls he struggled to pick up and a few Al Horford rotations to stop him at the rim.
