The Daily Sweat: Can Celtics, Grizzlies bounce back after Game 1 home losses?

The Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies both surrendered home-court advantage by dropping Game 1 of their respective NBA playoff semifinal series.

On Tuesday night, both teams are trying to avoid heading on the road facing a 2-0 deficit.

The Celtics were 5-point favorites over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1 but struggled mightily on offense in a 101-89 loss. Boston shot just 33.3% from the field as a team, including a putrid 10-of-34 effort on twos. The Celtics also turned it over 18 times while the Bucks got 25 points from Jrue Holiday and a triple-double from Giannis Antetokounmpo.
