The Milwaukee Bucks were given a lesson by the Boston Celtics on Thursday night, as their Eastern Conference rivals gained a huge mental advantage with a 41-point winning lead over their opponents.
In a match-up that could well be the Eastern Conference finals later this year, the Celtics proved to the Bucks that they are more than capable of putting in a show-stopping performance in Milwaukee territory. The Celtics stunned the Bucks 140-99 as Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown flexed their stunning partnership, leaving Giannis Antetokounmpo visibly frustrated.
Both the Celtics and the Bucks have already clinched play-off spots, although the winner of the Eastern Conference is yet to be determined. The Bucks are still ahead of both the Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers, but Thursday's game did not go down well with Giannis.
