Kept off balance by the Bucks’ physical defense, Milwaukee seemed to affect Boston’s ability to hit shots even when they were open.

The Celtics struggled offensively, with only star forward Jayson Tatum breaking the 20-point barrier, putting up 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, with forward Jaylen Brown adding 12 points and 9 boards, big man Al Horford chipping in 12 points and 10 rebounds.
