After Action Report

In Boston, the Bucks held off the Celtics 123-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bucks cashed in. Bucks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
