On pace to win more than 70 games this season, the Milwaukee Bucks hosted the Boston Celtics Thursday night. It’s one of the better matchups on the Eastern Conference slate through the first half of the season.
Though, that’s just on paper. As it has done all season, Milwaukee ran roughshod through its opponent early before a massive Celtics comeback in the fourth quarter drew this one close.
In the end, the Bucks came out on top, 128-123, in a hotly contested affair.
Here are the biggest winners and losers from Milwaukee’s five-point victory over Boston Thursday night.
