Jrue Holiday’s career night bails out Bucks
The Bucks completed a 3-0 road trip with back-to-back wins in Los Angeles last Thursday and Friday, but after two days off and a practice on Monday they could not keep their rhythm against Boston. In falling behind by as many as 14 in the third quarter, the Bucks gave the ball away (16 turnovers for 25 Celtics points) and kept the officials busy (16 personal fouls) – which allowed the Celtics to put up 10 more shots.
But, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday helped the Bucks close the quarter on a 12-3 run to head into the fourth down 95-90.
Middleton then got in the act and scored five straight to open the fourth and Antetokounmpo added four more to effectively reset the game.
