NBA playoffs wrap 2019: Bucks even series with win over Celtics

The Celtics beat Milwaukee by 22 in Game 1, but the Bucks bounced back in a big way on Tuesday.

The Bucks topped the Celtics 123-102 in Game 2 behind the efforts of an energized Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The star totaled a game-high 29 points, along with 10 rebounds, in Milwaukee's victory, and even brought out a shimmy celebration after a made 3-pointer.
