Rapid Recap, NBA Playoffs Edition: Bucks 107, Celtics 113 (OT)

It was a wild Game 1 of their first round series, and the Milwaukee Bucks forced overtime against the Boston Celtics, only to lose the game in the extra period, 113-107.

Despite the seeding disadvantage, Milwaukee was widely considered to have a legitimate chance at the upset over the Celtics, due in no small part to the absences of Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving, and Marcus Smart. The first quarter was dreadful for Milwaukee (8 turnovers), and the second quarter was equally dreadful for Boston (7 points in the first nine minutes of the period).
