With their season on the line, the Boston Celtics staved off elimination on Friday night, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 108-95. The story of the game was Jayson Tatum’s electric 46-point performance. He hit the big shots when it mattered most. However, what flew under the radar were two top-notch performances from the team’s two combo guards, Marcus Smart and Derrick White.
Boston’s starting point guard got it done on both ends of the floor in Game 6. Boston’s drive-and-kick offense found him a ton in the first quarter, and he didn’t hesitate to make Milwaukee’s defense pay.
