They chased a mythical upset in Boston, but the Bucks succumbed. The company of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard fell on the accurate Celtics and the wonderful Brown (26 points) and although they came back from -21, they made childish mistakes at the end and suffered a 119-116 defeat.
A travesty in the final seconds with Lillard nailing and finding an iron and Giannis making a double-double with 21p. and 13 rebounds. Lopes stopped at 28, Lillard at 27.
The Bucks dropped to 10-5 and will look for a win early Saturday against the Wizards.
