Two nights after suffering their most excruciating loss to date, the Celtics responded with a gutsy performance in Game 6 to keep their season alive.
The Bucks made a push once again, trimming an 18-point margin to four, but this time the Celtics stayed composed and grinded out a 108-95 road win Friday night. Game 7 is Sunday at 3:30 p.m. at TD Garden.
Jayson Tatum exploded for 46 points on 17-of-32 shooting – tied for the second most in franchise history when facing elimination. Jaylen Brown added 22 and Marcus Smart scored 16 of his 21 before the break.
