Milwaukee entered match 1 of the semifinals of the Eastern Conference as an outsider. That status is sure to change after a landslide 101-89 victory over Boston with injured All Star Khris Middleton watching from the sidelines.
Janice sends a message with a pronounced stab
Boston kept things close early when Milwaukee opened a 27-24 lead in the first quarter. But the Bucks beat the Celtics in the second quarter and opened things up after half time in a game that was not so close to the final difference of 12 points. As Bucks salted the game, Janice Adetokunmpo received a resounding exclamation mark.

Jason Tatum, praised for beating Kevin Durant in the first round, watched hopelessly as his attempt to thwart Adetokunmpo under the basket proved futile.
“I always try to be aggressive,” Adetokunmpo told Jorge Sedano of ESPN after the match. … “My teammates want me to be aggressive. I’m trying to get to the fight and make games for my teammates and myself. And I was lucky to make this game.”
Like the rest of the game, the Celtics had no answer in scoring Adetokunmpo, who scored 24 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. And now the Celtics are left fighting for answers after coming out with everyone against the Nets.
