It all comes down to Game 7 between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks. The second-round series has been just as riveting as expected, with both teams trading wins in six straight games. Both teams have just one more shot to advance into the Eastern Conference finals as the series finale will take place Sunday at TD Garden. The winner advances to face the top-seeded Miami Heat. The Celtics outscore the Bucks 31-21 in the third quarter despite Jayson Tatum sitting with four fouls, and take a 79-64 lead into the final period.
In a battle between two of the league’s top superstars, Tatum (46 points, nine rebounds, four assists) and Antetokounmpo (44 points, 20 rebounds, six assists) put up their best very efforts in Game 6, but it was the Celtics that prevailed 108-95 to even the series and avoid elimination. Marcus Smart bounced back after a rough Game 5 with a flawless showing that included 21 points and zero turnovers. Boston will have home-court advantage, but the defending champions have been nearly perfect in closeout games (8-1) under Mike Budenholzer. Robert Williams is also returning after missing three games with a sore knee.
