Phew. These are the Milwaukee Bucks were used to. Facing the most adversity they’ve seen this season, the Bucks would clobber the Celtics to even up the series, 123-102.
Game 2 would be a very similar start to Game 1 with the Bucks not being able to connect on much from the floor. Nikola Mirotic, who replaced Sterling Brown in the starting lineup, would quickly inherit foul trouble and be forced to exit — and that wasn’t good news. Milwaukee remained frigid on shot attempts, as nothing seemed to fall. Good looks failed to be generated on a consistent basis as well, and many shots seemed to be forced.
