2018 NBA Playoffs - Milwaukee vs. Boston: Hot Shooting Bucks Somehow Stifled by Celtics

Once again, the Milwaukee Bucks bumbled the ball away significantly tonight, as the Boston Celtics turned it over just six times to Milwaukee’s 15 as the Bucks lost 120-96 despite shooting nearly 60% from the field. Initially, Milwaukee looked like they were trying to mirror their turnover-prone first quarter from game one tonight, turning it over seven times and trailing 33-22 when the quarter ended. A quick burst to start the second dissipated quickly, but Milwaukee entered halftime down by just single digits, 60-51. Unfortunately, the depression didn’t end there, as Shane Larkin knocked down a buzzer-beater three to give Boston a 90-75 lead as the third quarter concluded.
