Until bench production improves, the Boston Celtics will remain pretenders

Wednesday night was a welcoming sight to see for Boston Celtics fans. Finding themselves down by 16 at the halfway point, Boston dug deep into their bag of tricks and made a miraculous comeback in the second half that saw them finish the night with an impressive 116-105 win over the 2018-19 Eastern Conference Finals runner-up’s, the Milwaukee Bucks.

The team’s top options did exactly what they’re expected to do on a nightly basis: ball-out. Kemba Walker led all scorers with 32 points to go along with six assists and six rebounds. Jayson Tatum and Gordon Hayward added 25 and 21 points, respectively, with both coming away from the contest shooting over 50% from downtown.
