The Milwaukee Bucks could not hold onto a first quarter lead as it fell to the Boston Celtics 117-103.
The Bucks outscored the Celtics 30-21 in the opening frame, but the Celtics had the edge in the other three quarters to pick up the victory over the defending NBA champions. A big reason why was Jayson Tatum, who led all scorers with 42 points. Sixteen of those points came in the fourth quarter as the Celtics tried to put the Bucks away on the second night of their back-to-back stretch. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday each scored 20 points to lead the Bucks in the loss.
The Bucks are back in action at home on Wednesday when they welcome the Indiana Pacers for a 7 p.m. tip.
