Bucks Dominate Celtics with Commanding 135-102 Victory at Fiserv Forum
The Milwaukee Bucks, now with a 26-12 record, delivered an impressive performance against the Boston Celtics, who stand at 29-9 after the game. The final score read a dominant 135-102 in favor of the home team.
At the Fiserv Forum, packed with an enthusiastic crowd of 17,781 fans, the Milwaukee Bucks showcased their offensive might and defensive solidity against a formidable Boston Celtics team. From tip-off to final buzzer, it was clear that the Bucks were in full control of the game. They led for an overwhelming majority of playtime – a staggering 47 minutes and 19 seconds – never once allowing their lead to slip.
The Bucks' offense was firing on all cylinders as they shot an impressive 56 percent from the field across four quarters. Their three-point shooting was particularly lethal; they converted on 43 percent of their attempts from beyond the arc. This sharpshooting contributed to their substantial bench points tally which stood at a solid contribution of 54 points.
Milwaukee's defense was equally up to task; they blocked six shots and limited Boston's scoring opportunities effectively throughout each quarter. The defensive efforts translated into holding Boston to just a mere five fast break points while accumulating eighteen for themselves—a testament to their transition defense turning into quick offense.
A key moment that underscored Milwaukee's dominance came when they went on an unanswered scoring run that saw them outscore Boston by twenty-five points during one stretch—propelling them from fifty-six points while holding Boston at twenty-three.
On individual performances, it wasn't just about one star player but rather a collective effort that saw every Buck contributing significantly both offensively and defensively. Their ball movement resulted in thirty-four assists compared to eleven turnovers—an assist-to-turnover ratio indicative of smart playmaking and careful possession handling.
