“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
-William Shakespeare
Late in the second quarter of Game 1 in this first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Boston Celtics found themselves down 43-36 and in the mist of a 2nd quarter lull. With the Bucks in possession and looking to add to their lead, Jabari Parker got the ball on the baseline and advanced towards the hoop for a shot that was swatted by Al Horford. The ball was loose on the ground, squirted from the hands of Parker and Jaylen Brown.
