Celtics vs Bucks Game 2 Preview
The Celtics took Game 1 on Sunday, holding the Bucks to 31-of-89 (34.8 percent) shooting from the field.
“It was one of the toughest losses we’ve ever had, all season, especially at home,” Milwaukee star Giannis Antetokounmpo said after the 112-90 defeat, according to the Associated Press.
The MVP candidate struggled from the the field, connecting on seven of his 21 shots for 22 points, adding eight rebounds, two assists, a block, and a steal.
“Our focus was to make sure that we just made it tough on him every time, just making sure he earned everything he got,” Celtics big man Al Horford said, per AP. “I felt like we did a pretty good job of that.”
In the regular season, Antetokounmpo ranked third in the NBA with 27.7 points per game, shooting 57.8 percent.
“As great as he’s been, he hasn’t been perfect every night,” Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said, per AP. “He’s hard on himself, so there will probably be some point where I put my arms around him and tell him, ‘You’re going to be great.'”
Boston went 47-of-87 (54 percent) from the field, led by Kyrie Irving’s 26 points. Antetokounmpo told reporters Milwaukee wouldn’t make any drastic changes after the series opener.
“Definitely not,” the 24-year-old said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “We’re just going to keep doing what we’ve been doing all year. I think there should be no change at all. Why should there be a change after a game that we lost?
“We should not be the team that makes the adjustment even though we lost the first game. We’re just going to come out and play our hardest, see how Game 2 goes. If it doesn’t go well for us, then you can think about adjusting. But right now, we’re not adjusting nothing. We’re just going to be us.”
Malcolm Brogdon Update
A torn right plantar fascia has kept Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon out since March 15. Before the series, Budenholzer said Brogdon would miss the first two games then be reevaluated, but the coach offered a positive update on Monday.
“He continues to get better,” Budenholzer said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “No setback as we go day-to-day. He went longer and harder today, so I think we’re all hopeful he comes in tomorrow feeling good. He looks a lot like Malcolm that we’ve known.
“He’s very keen. … I think he and I are very much on the same page. He’s very much on the same page with the medical. We’ll see how these four, five days — now we’re three or four into them — and evaluate him at that point and assess what the next step is.”
The 26-year-old averaged 15.6 points per game during the regular season, good for fourth on the Bucks.
