Al Horford led fiery a Boston Celtics team to an overtime Game 1 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, 113-107. Horford was terrific all game long, bullying Giannis Antetokounmpo and putting up 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals. It was a customary stat-sheet stuffing game for the Celtics big man.
Boston survived in spite of a incredible catch-and-shoot make from Khris Middleton, (31 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists) just as regular time expired to send the game to overtime. Middleton’s heroics underscored an exciting finish, when the Celtics thought Terry Rozier had locked up the game with a knockdown three-pointer of his own leaving just 0.
