Local boy Pat Connaughton felt at home in Bucks’ win

Arlington native Pat Connaughton claims Friday night’s win over his hometown Celtics was just like any other victory.

“For me, I like any win I can get,’’ Connaughton said after he and the Milwaukee Bucks handed the Celtics their second straight loss to take a 2-1 lead in their second-round playoff series. “It doesn’t really matter where it is or who it’s versus. For me, it’s about making sure I do the best I can for my team.’’

It’s hard to believe Connaughton wasn’t at least a little excited after he drilled four three-pointers in front of friends and family at an arena less than 10 miles away from where he grew up.
