The Milwaukee Bucks host the Boston Celtics at the Fiserv Stadium for the second game of the Eastern Conference NBA playoffs.
The team led by Brad Stevens showed great form at the start of this series. The Celtics got a 112-90 victory to knock the Bucks out with excellent basketball.
There were two factors that greatly influenced this game. First, the defensive performance of Al Horford, who dominated Brook Lopez under the post and contained the star and MVP candidate, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Meanwhile, on the offensive side Kyrie Irving took complicated shots, but scored and was close to a triple-double with 26 points, seven assists and 11 rebounds.
On the other side, “The Greek Freak” was weighed by the lack of experience, as he faced a team with a very good career under his belt. Added to this, he received very little help from his teammates, because the best player was Khris Middleton, who scored 16 points.
Now, in the second game you can expect a more closed result, or at least that is what the odds dictate. The bookies have a favorite to Milwaukee despite the disaster. In addition, the fee is very low, so that little credit is being given to what Boston did. And, as if that were not enough, the money is also tilting in favor of the Bucks.
