Boston Celtics 86-97 Milwaukee Bucks
The Boston Celtics, despite missing their key players to injury, were slight live betting favourites coming into Game 6 of their back-and-forth series against the Milwaukee Bucks. Jayson Tatum, Terry Rozier and Jaylen Brown have done brilliantly in carrying the team in the absence of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward to make things entertaining.
However, it’s been proven time and time again that a bet online against an NBA superstar is the same as playing tag with a raging stag. Betting odds were once again shattered after Giannis Antetokounmpo carried the Bucks and forced a Game 7 in Boston.
The Greek Freak was unstoppable during his 41 minutes of game time at the Bradley Center. He scored 31 points, snagged 14 boards, made 4 dishes and swiped the ball off the opposition twice. While Al Horford and the rest of the Boston frontcourt did a marvellous job defending him, his will to score was too much for them to contain.
Giannis also got some help from his team-mates. Khris Middleton and Malcolm Brogdon were also playing impressive basketball. While they didn’t take as many shots as the franchise star, they made sure that every shot of theirs count.
While the Bucks won the game, credit must also be given to Boston for keeping the game close until the game’s final minutes. Whenever Milwaukee would build a nice lead, a Tatum layup, a long-range bomb from Rozier or a finesse move by Horford would always spark a run that would bring them back to the game. Brad Stevens’ coaching should be praised as well as his leadership helped the team compete in such a hostile environment.
Fans can expect a bombastic ending at Boston. Boston will definitely try to build a case for the future by proving that they can compete with the best of them without their star players. Antetokounmpo will try to cement his legacy as a legitimate superstar by making it to the next round.
Whatever happens in this series, one thing is for certain: a tough series against a strong Philadelphia squad awaits them.
