Bucks use big second half to end Celtics' five-game winning streak
The Boston Celtics suffered through a tale of two halves on Thursday, starting out red hot against the Milwaukee Bucks in Wisconsin, only to go completely ice cold in the second half. Holding a seven-point lead at halftime, the Celtics would not make a single 3-point attempt in the third quarter, in which they only scored a total of 13 points.
Milwaukee faces a daunting challenge as Giannis Antetokounmpo is sidelined with a calf strain, potentially for weeks. The Bucks, already struggling at 10-15, must adapt their game against a surging Boston Celtics team.
In the end, the trio of Portis, Kuzma and Porter carried the Bucks to a much-needed win. With rumors about an injured Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future continuing to swirl, his teammates earned a victory as the superstar forward enjoyed his team’s fight and competitiveness from the bench.
The Milwaukee Bucks pulled off a huge win against the Boston Celtics. The Milwaukee Bucks were able to snap the Boston Celtics’ five-game winning streak without their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks had five players finish in double figures, including Kevin Porter Jr. who had a triple-double.
Kevin Porter Jr. scored 30 points in his second game back but left in the fourth quarter of the Bucks' loss to the Wizards with a back spasm.
