Fourth quarter

• Moe Wagner go into the game. Cleary playing Tacko Fall early was not working


• Tatum is up to 34 points on 13-18 shooting. Boston is up to 22-43 from 3. Make/miss something something


• Boston finished with 22 3-pointers, their second-highest total of the season


• Robert Williams finished with 7 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks, and 2 steals.


• Marcus Smart broke out of his slump with a 23 point night on 7-10 from 3

• The Celtics have stormed out to a 20-9 start to the quarter. The Celtics are bombing away from 3 and everything seems to be falling right now.


• Robert Williams has just 3 points and is having an electric game. He's up to 5 blocked shots.


• Milwaukee answered with an 11-5 run to close the gap to 12.


• Boston hit 9-14 3-pointers in the quarter

• Robert Williams does make a difference on defense. He's active and quick. He erases a lot of mistakes (even if some of them are his)


• Jayson Tatum is up to 15 points in the first half


• Giannis Antetokounmpo only has 2 points so far


• Walker, Brown, and Tatum have 40 of Boston's 55 points. Robert Williams has 5 assists.


• Williams also has 4 blocks

• Kemba Walker opened the game drawing a foul on a 3-point attempt so he got to see three shots fall early. He's cooking out of the box and now has 8 of Boston's first 12 points


• The Celtics defense is playing well to start. They've forced 2 Jrue Holiday turnovers


• First quarter Tacko Fall alert. This is not a drill. Tacko Fall is getting meaningful minutes


• The Celtics have just one made field goal in the last 2:47


• Fall was disruptive at the rim, but he's a little slow defensively


• Tatum got aggressive late and finally got to the line. Boston is 5-6 from the line.

• Celtics vs. Bucks spread: Bucks -6


• Celtics vs. Bucks over-under: 235 points


• Celtics vs. Bucks money line: Bucks -240, Celtics +200
