The Boston Celtics failed to win against the Milwaukee Bucks last week in their home opener game in Boston. However, the Celtics took their revenge on the Bucks as they beat them out with a final score of 96-89 in front of the Milwaukee fans on Thursday night. The efforts of Kyrie Irving and Al Horford helped their team win against the Bucks.
Neither team played well in the first quarter of the game with the Celtics’ eight turnovers and the Bucks shot only 35 percent. At the end of the game, the Celtics shot 42.3 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from the three-point line.
They also had 16 turnovers and 45 rebounds. Meanwhile, the Bucks averaged a bit higher than the Celtics with 45.5 percent shot from the field and 44 percent from the three-point line, but they had 18 turnovers and 37 rebounds.
Kyrie Irving and Al Horford chemistry
The two players from the Celtics played a huge part in their win against the Bucks. Kyrie Irving and Al Horford showed their chemistry during the game. Ben Rohrbach of Yahoo Sports noted that the two players seemed in sync despite playing just five games together.
Kyrie Irving broke out crossovers and spin moves to keep the Celtics lead in the game. He ended the game with 24 points, three rebounds, seven assists and two steals. Meanwhile, Al Horford led the Celtics with a team-high score of 27 points with nine rebounds and four assists.
Jayson Tatum and Aron Baynes both gave 12 points to their winning score.
The Greek Freak of the NBA
The 22-year-old Greek Freak forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo, has become the scariest player in the NBA. He is currently the leading scorer in the 2017-2018 NBA season averaging 36 points per game and shooting 66 percent from the field.
If he continues playing with these types of stats, he will have great potential for an excellent future ahead of him in the NBA.
In the game against the Celtics, Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 28 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals with 42 minutes game time. Khris Middleton and Malcolm Brogdon helped the Bucks by scoring 15 points each during the game but still failed to win against the Celtics.
Malcolm Brogdon trade rumors
The rookie of the year, Malcolm Brogdon, is rumored to be traded to the Phoenix Suns for Eric Bledsoe.
The sources claimed that the Bucks are somewhat reluctant to trade Brogdon but for now, the Bucks are offering Matthew Dellavedova to the Suns for Eric Bledsoe.
