Last night the Celtics took on the Milwaukee Bucks for the 2nd time this season. The Celtics went into the game with a bad taste in their mouth having lost the night before at home giving the Boston Fans a pathetic performance in a loss to the Detroit Pistons. The Celtics went into that game without the services of Jayson Tatum who was out due to an ankle injury. The Celtics would learn that Jaylen Brown would not be able to go for the Celtics against the Bucks due to a finger injury. The Celtics would get Jayson Tatum to return to action though. The Celtics came out of the game looking as though they were set to repeat what happened the night before. They came out flat, no ball movement, no defensive pressure and allow the Bucks to have their way with them from the get go the same way the Pistons did the night before and continuing a trend that has been going on for several weeks. The Bucks went up by as much as 26 points in the 1st half scoring 76 points in just 2 quarters of action in route to a 76-58 lead at halftime. The Celtics in the 2nd half did what they didnt do the night before which was wake up and put some effort in and raise their intensity as they made a run early in the 3rd to get the lead down to single digits before the Bucks took it back up to a 106-87 lead after 3 quarters. The Celtics in the 4th made another run making it it a 1 possession game before ultimately losing 128-123. This move made the Celtics now 1-1 in the season series against the Bucks while being 0-3 vs the 76ers so the Celtics are now 1-4 in 5 games vs the top 2 teams in the Eastern Conference. So what did this game prove. Did it prove Danny Ainge is gonna have to make a move of some sort prior to the trade deadline which is less then 3 weeks away? Did the comeback in the 2nd half prove Milwaukee may not be as big a challenge for Boston as Philly is.
