Grant Williams hilariously snuck into the Bucks’ huddle and proceeded to enjoy the Game 7 of his life

The Celtics entered their Game 7 with a ton of pressure.

Milwaukee (+5) and Giannis Antetokounmpo were the defending champs. Even with an official superstar evolution from Jayson Tatum, Boston had already lost a tough Game 1 and Game 5 at home. With everything on the line, another defeat in front of a raucous TD Garden crowd would’ve been too much to bear.

Thankfully, the Celtics had Grant Williams on their side — one of the NBA’s top role players. He saved his very best tricks for when the Celtics needed a clutch performance from a bench player.

Like, for example, sneaking into a Bucks’ huddle to see what plans they had for the Celtics’ stifling defense:

Oh, Williams. You sly dog, you. I, for one, also really appreciate Jrue Holiday acknowledging Williams’ presence with only a hip check as Antetokounmpo looks on without blinking.

Williams clearly found out all the Bucks’ blueprints to pull an upset as the Celtics wound up winning a 109-81 laugher. They will play the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. Given his sneakiness, that Williams chipped in a timely 27 points with seven threes might not be a coincidence.

Then again, Williams’ intrusion is probably what it feels like to play against the Celtics. Every time you think you have a moment to relax and catch your breath, one of their players is almost literally breathing down your neck. Watch out, Miami.
