Now Hill has 4.

Yeah, Celtics not exactly lighting it up.
Cool to outscore the Celts without Giannis and Middleton on the floor.
Not just outscore - they dominated. They were +10 in 6 and a half minutes.
Of course, Hill now has 4 on a cheap one. Refs gotta ref.
Bucks with another big time 3rd Q and the bench leading the way again!
So far more than surviving the foul BS.
I'm greedy, but I would love if Connaughton had made that layup after the steal. Celts scored right after in transition. That was a 4 point swing.
FT disparity 25-13. Fouls 22 to 13. Bucks top 3 scores all have 4 fouls in the 3rd quarter. Still up 8. Snap their neck - finish them.

He has to challenge on that especially the way he can jump, but yeah, that was a potential mini-dagger.
Now Giannis, Middleton, Bledsoe, and Hill all have 4. That's their 4 leading scorers.

5 point swing on that Horford 3, but then Giannis gets one back. Now hit the FT!!!
phaedrus posted:What a putrid FT.
Misses them both.
And then comes back and hits a circus shot and makes the and one.
We'll need to weather a big surge and you know Giannis' 5th is coming on a cheap call. Have to overcome the inevitable crap calls in a road game.
Man, Hill, Giannis, Middleton, and Bledsoe all with 4 fouls. I'd say their best 4 players.
Kyrie (43) and Horford (41) are on pace to play big minutes if they play the rest of the way.
Giannis (34) not so much.

Yeah, the officials need to step in.
I hated that set that resulted in a Bledsoe heave. And that is followed by a Boston 3.
Bucks starting to get rattled. Need a good shot here. Haven't had a good one since the timeout. Lead down to 5.
phaedrus posted:Should Giannis sit between 8 and 4m?
Not now.
Just like I said last game, this is where we find out if the Bucks are really title contenders. A great team would come out of this timeout and restore order quickly. Still have a 5 point lead - we're in good shape if we finish.
Poor offense the last 4 trips.
Need smarter offensive sets.
Calls have been biased, but the Bucks have left 3-4 points on the FT line (12-19 tonight).
Let's see what Bud does out of the timeout.
Bledsoe missed 3 at the end of the clock.
Giannis turnover.
Hill missed 3 (but a wide open shot).
2 bad offensive sets of the last 3.
You knew Kyrie was going to get a call. I don't know what else Lopez can do - he literally jumped straight up.
Up 10. Finish them.
Horford pushed Hill on that layup almost as much as Lopez hit Kyrie on the and one.
Middleton is 4-18. This feels like one of those games where he struggles all night and then hits a dagger three in the last 2 minutes.
Man, just 4 more minutes.
Intense defense, run off some clock, and smart offense.
