The Boston Celtics made a dominant performance on both ends and rallied past the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 (86-109).
Boston took control from the opening tip and led by 25 at halftime (40-65). The reigning champions never recovered and suffered a blowout road loss.
Jaylen Brown (30 points, 11/18 shooting) and Jayson Tatum (29 points, 10/20 shooting) combined for 59 points for the winners. Grant Williams added 21 (7/14 shooting, 6/9 from beyond the arc) off the bench for Boston.
On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo led four Bucks players in double figures. The “Greek Freak” flirted with the triple-double, with 28 points (11/27 shooting), 9 rebounds and 7 assists.
The series now moves to Milwaukee for Games 3 (Saturday) and 4 (Monday). The Celtics will aim to re-claim the home-court advantage, whereas the Bucks will seek to earn a clear advantage.
