A disastrous start let a faint glimmer of light in at the end, but Milwaukee ultimately perished against the Boston Celtics in overtime, 112-108. Another poor defensive performance gave way to a last-ditch effort down the stretch as Milwaukee worked it to a tie as regulation concluded, but they couldn’t manufacture offense outside of two Tony Snell threes in the final portion.
Giannis posted 21 points, six rebounds and six assists with Greg Monroe coming up big late with 14 points, 13 rebounds, three steals and three blocks. Michael Beasley chipped in 17 points including a strong first half showing and Tony Snell was the unsung hero with 12 points and the Bucks only points in overtime.
