1st game of the series where Boston completely bullied and out muscled the Bucks. Bucks should look at inserting Ibaka and playing bigger. This series has been great.

Bucks took 10 more shots, took 7 more FTs, had only 7 turnovers, and still lost. You don’t usually see that.

Who would have thought Horford could outplay Giannis in a game.

Bucks shot 0-12 against Derrick White as the primary defender according to Kirk Goldsberry.

Bud lost this game when we were up 7 and celtics were going to Lopez slow legs over and over again. They were with Horford at 5 and tatum at 4. If Bud was playing small ball we wouldnt collapse.

When a team is hot on shooting, lopez should go out , we give so many open shots.

It's the thunder who makes proven players unplayable.

Sixers fans better be rooting for the Celtics to advance, I would be so scared for embiid if he has to deal with Giannis’ elbows to his face throughout the series

Jrue played like crap. Big Al playing like it’s 2010 again
This series probably going 7.

Something tells me you'll be complaining all the same when Embiid does the same thing lol

I don t see the Bucks winning this series without Middleton. That is two games in a row where the Bucks offense looked gassed without Middleton. Could turn out that the injury is too much for the Bucks to overcome. But give respect to the Bucks to making this such a competitive series against a really good Celtics team.

Kudos to Derrick White, he had to step up with Jaylen in foul trouble for the whole 2nd half. And he did. On the flip side, Pritchard has looked bad all series.

Al Horford with huge 30 pt game . Did not see that coming

I think they'll adjust to some degree. You can tell the coaches figured Al didn't have another great game in him, and he was even better tonight than in game 3. Hopefully they don't over-adjust.

Pritchard is an interesting guy. I remember watching him cook Kyrie and thinking he was pretty automatic, but he's missed a lot of open shots this series.

What a series! It’s definitely lived up to the hype. I don’t know who I want to win the series, which adds to the intrigue.

Horford exploding was fun — one of my favorite non-Blazers.

You did good...

Gotta give props to the Cs. What an amazing turn around from the start of the season.

East is a bloodbath. Top 4 teams are too damn good for a team to go cold, it will be season over.

Congratz to the Celtics. I think this game was the series. Giannis built a double digit lead in the 3rd and he was completely done energy wise after that. He couldn't even walk up the floor.

His second best player this series is 35y Wesley Matthews.
He has no 3p shooting to space the floor for him.
He has no point guard to help him score.
It's Giannis take the ball and beat boston every single time.

Respect to Holford who keeps keeping you alive with his elite shot making.

He was great vs. the Nets. He could easily go 4/4 from 3 next game, wouldn't surprise me in the least. He can be streaky like that

Congrats Boston, this series is over.

Who wins?
