The Celtics are considered one of the few teams that have the talent to topple the Bucks in their march to the top seed in the playoffs. The Celtics managed to find their rhythm in the third quarter, cutting the deficit to six at 87-81 before the Bucks closed the period on a run and grabbed a 106-87 lead heading to the final quarter.
