Two days removed from their biggest loss of the season, the Bucks responded with a haymaker of their own against the Celtics.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREThe sky is no longer falling in Milwaukee. Three-pointers, on the other hand, those fell one after another for the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night at Fiserv Forum.
Khris Middleton caught fire early, making five three-pointers before halftime, part of a 7 of 10 night from long range for the all-star forward. He particularly let loose in transition, pulling up for triples or leaking into the corner, often serving as a release valve for Antetokounmpo who faced a wall of Celtics all focused on stopping his drives.
After a couple more treys in the first five minutes of the third quarter, Middleton passed the torch to Antetokounmpo. Content to play with the pass in the first half, Antetokounmpo turned up the aggression and call his own number more. During that seven-minute stretch, the Celtics went just 1 of 12 from the floor with six turnovers. Boston, which seemingly couldn't miss on Sunday and got plenty of open looks, finished the night just 39.5% from the floor against a much more aggressive Bucks defense.
