After the first five matches where both the teams have looked evenly matched coming into Game-6, the sixth game seemed no different as the match ended in favour of the Celtics who made yet another comeback in this hotly contested playoff tie. The match was quiet tense for the fans of both parties but as a neutral fan, the game was nothing less than a roller-coaster ride. The Celtics made their intentions very clear right from the very first minute of the match and took a mammoth lead of 43-53 at the end of the second quarter. The Bucks tried to come up with best performance of the night in the third quarter but they failed to recapitalize as the Celtics gave them no chance to comeback and ended the night with 95-108 victory over them. Despite the brilliance of Antetokounmpo, who displayed yet another brilliant performance but ended on the losing side. The Bucks players looked dejected at the end of the match as the defeat was too hard to swallow having had the best of their opposition for almost the entire match.
The match was pretty much one sided from the very first minute of the match as the Celtics dismantled the Bucks completely throughout the entire match. The Celtics came back brilliantly after suffering a defeat in the last game by just 3 points and won it fair and square last night by 13 points. Jason Tatum put everything into the match and was completely unstoppable and sensational having picked up 46 points and saving the year and giving his team another chance to fight for the semis.
Milwaukee Bucks Match Report
Although Mike Budenholzer’s side replied back and pulled a crucial victory in the last match when it mattered the most, they have fallen short to the mighty Celtics last night. They were left stunned by the Celtics’ performance yesterday and the seemed to have no clue about how to stop the fire man Jason Tatum who never has a bad day in the office making things even harder for the Bucks. Wesley Matthews and Grayson Allen had a bad game and the latter might find his position in scrutiny having picked up 3 points in 22 minutes. Jrue Holiday supported Giannis but their hard work went in vain as the others failed to recapitalize. Giannis who has been absolutely great all season long and didn’t fail the fans as he managed to bag yet another 44 points which went in vain.
Boston Celtics Match Report
Ime Udoka’s men were in a gallant form last night and almost all of the Celtics’ fans were rooting for an easy victory. The Bucks having taken the lead back in their favour in the last match gave the Suns a huge reality check and they answered the critics perfectly well and pulled out a major victory on Friday. Jason Tatum yet again proved his worth picking up 46 points and Jaylen Brown supported him as well netting crucial 22 points and credit goes to defense keeping the dangerous Wesley Matthews and Grayson Allen quiet for the entire match which was key to winning the match easily.
