[admin]

The short-handed Boston Celtics issued a statement to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, turning a 19-point deficit into a fourth-quarter lead as large as 13 and letting the Eastern Conference know they are not to be taken lightly. The Celtics outscored the Bucks 38-18 in the third quarter, Kemba Walker scored 13 of his game-high 32 points in the fourth and Marcus Smart did all he could to throw Giannis Antetokounmpo off his game in an inspired 116-105 victory. Certainly it was a big win for us,” Gordon Hayward told the Celtics broadcast after the game.
