Midway through the first half, Bobby Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo combined to score 20 straight points, guiding the Milwaukee Bucks to a 135-102 victory over the NBA-leading Boston Celtics on Thursday night.
With 28 points from Portis, 24 from Antetokounmpo, and 12 rebounds from both players, the Bucks won for just the second time in their previous six games. Following his return to the Milwaukee lineup, Damian Lillard scored 21 points in the Bucks’ 132-116 home loss against the Utah Jazz on Monday due to personal matters.
In Jrue Holiday’s return to Milwaukee, the Bucks led by as much as 43 points, and their halftime lead of 75-38 was the fourth-largest in team history. The Celtics returned to action one night after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves 127-120 in overtime, while the Bucks hadn’t played since Monday.
In the third quarter, TNT continues to broadcast the Celtics-Bucks rout. Clearly, this game has gotten out of hand. 100–62… We’re not going there, by the way, since Oklahoma City leads by 36 at the half. We’ll attempt the Knicks versus. Mavs match, which is a 47-28 contest. — Ernie Johnson
