After dropping Game One at home, the Boston Celtics responded in a big way with a wire-to-wire 109-86 thumping of the Milwaukee Bucks, evening the series at a game apiece. Jayson Tatum (29 points) and Jaylen Brown (30 points) didn’t let their poor outings on Sunday throw them, converting on 11 of their 20 three-point attempts. Giannis led the Bucks with 28 on 11/27 shooting.
It was evident from the tip that Boston was highly motivated to correct their Game One dud. They opened a 15-3 lead as Milwaukee couldn’t generate good looks and their turnover problems resurfaced.
