The Milwaukee Bucks have now won two straight Game Ones, generally dominating the Boston Celtics defensively as they took a 1-0 series lead with a 101-89 win. Giannis Antetokounmpo put forth a masterful playmaker performance with his second career triple-double, posting 24 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. In the absence of Khris Middleton, what an incredible performance by this team to open this second round up.
The Bucks came out looking like their sloppy selves with seven turnovers in the first period, but they used a series of forced turnovers and timely jumpers as the quarter closed to take a 27-24 lead.
