Horford and Tatum shine in the last quarter, Boston beats Bucks to tie series | NBA

Tatum finished with a total of 30 points, plus 13 rebounds and 5 assists. Smart earned 18 points and 8 assists. Another Jaylen Brown contributed 18. Boston started the last period behind him on the scoreboard by 7 points, but imposed an avalanche in the final stretch. And the midfield didn’t have Robert Williams, due to a right knee injury, but Alhorford more than made up for his absence from the paint.

On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists, but that was not enough. Brooke Lopez teamed up with 17 points and 7 rebounds. Junior Holiday with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. The team held out against the Celtics as best they could, but the defense was unable to maintain its level in the last 12 minutes. Khris Middleton is staying out with a knee injury and will not return in the series.

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday at 8 pm in Boston. Game 6 is guaranteed and will be back in Milwaukee on Friday. If a Game 7 is needed, it will take place on Sunday at the Celtics’ home. Whoever wins the series will face the winner of the Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers, who also tied 2-2.
