Celtics Stay Undefeated with Thrilling Win Over Bucks!

The Boston Celtics continued their undefeated start to the season by defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 119-108 on Monday night in a thrilling contest. Jaylen Brown led the way with an impressive 30 points, while Payton Pritchard made a significant impact off the bench, contributing 28 points with eight successful 3-pointers.

Adding to the Celtics’ success, Jayson Tatum, who was recently named Eastern Conference Player of the Week, recorded 15 points and eight rebounds. Derrick White supported the team with 13 points and eight assists. This victory marked the Celtics’ fourth consecutive win, showcasing their strong performance early in the season.

On the Bucks’ side, Damian Lillard was the standout, scoring 33 points, along with seven rebounds and seven assists. Giannis Antetokounmpo also put forth a solid effort, adding 30 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists.

The game remained competitive until late in the third quarter when Pritchard sank a crucial 3-pointer just before the buzzer, pushing Boston into a lead of 90-82. From there, the Celtics surged ahead, scoring the next seven points and extending their advantage to 15.

As a highlight, the Celtics demonstrated their exceptional shooting from beyond the arc. They continued to excel in 3-point shooting, landing 18 out of 47 attempts in this matchup. Notably, Pritchard’s performance was nearly record-breaking, as he finished 8 of 12 from long range, just shy of his career high.

Looking ahead, the Bucks are set to face the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday to wrap up their three-game road trip, while the Celtics will visit the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

This victory for the Celtics underscores their resilience and promising synergy as a team, fostering excitement among fans for what the rest of the season might bring.
