Perfect Kornet screen to free Tatum away from the ball. That’s the stuff that doesn’t get talked about with him. Meanwhile, Svi with some great defense preventing a pass to Connaughton with Beverley in trouble. Another MIL turnover ensued. – 8:16 PM

#Bucks shot well, but #Celtics held them off the FT line (2 att.) and forced 5 turnovers. Great defensive pressure. A few of their own miscues prevented them from pushing closer to 40. Milwaukee’s half court execution has been solid. Question is always how long til the punch.. – 8:10 PM

A really bad quarter by Lillard. Had the ball stolen by Tillman, was part of a pair of miscommunications that led to turnovers/oob, fired another pass out of bounds just before the buzzer when a shot was the only option. – 8:09 PM

Jaylen Brown good to go for the Celtics tonight.
Since the All-Star Break JB’s averaging 29.1 PPG, shooting 54% from the floor and 41% from 3.
@DKSportsbook has Jaylen at -125 odds to score at least 23 points against a Giannis-less Bucks defense.
