Seven facts that have to be admitted:
1. Tatum's performance was decent, with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Tatum's hard solution ability is still not good, compared to Doncic and Alexander, it is still a lot worse, the playoffs need Tatum's stable performance and hard solution ability at critical moments, otherwise it will be difficult for the Celtics, the king of the regular season, to win the championship.
2. Jaylen Brown played 35 minutes in this game, shooting 7 of 19 from the field, 0 of 6 from three-point range, and got 14 points, 10 rebounds, assists and 4 steals. Jaylen Brown missed the shot, but fortunately, the Celtics have secured the first place in the league, and this game is no longer a problem, Brown needs to be in good shape, and the playoffs can't be so iron.
3. Brother Alphabet suddenly fell to the ground and touched his left calf without confrontation in the third quarter, and it was also announced after the game that Brother Alphabet had a strained left calf and would be further examined. He was 7-of-11 in the first 11 of his injury and finished with 15 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. I hope Brother Alphabet is okay, and the Bucks without Brother Alphabet are a round team.
4. Lillard's desire to attack in this game is not high, only 12 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists on 5-of-11 shooting. Brother Alphabet is injured and Lillard is starting to let go, and it's time to show the strength of the seventy-five.
5, Beverley got 20 points and 10 rebounds in this game, Beverley is really important to the Bucks, always full of passion, after the comeback, the results are immediate, today's offense and defense are full, this is the Bucks' real starting No. 2 position.
6. The two teams only made 2 free throws in total today, and the Celtics made 0 free throws in the whole game, setting a record for the lowest number of free throws in a single game in NBA history. Such a number of free throws is unimaginable in this era, less than the All-Star free throws, the NBA referee's blowing penalty is really incomprehensible, sometimes there can be forty or fifty free throws in a game, and today it is not blown at all, it is too smooth......
7. After this battle, the Bucks ended their four-game losing streak and stopped the decline, while the Celtics' five-game winning streak also ended. At present, the Celtics are firmly in first place in the league with a record of 62 wins and 17 losses, and the Bucks are ranked second in the East with a record of 48 wins and 31 losses, 1.5 wins ahead of the Magic who are third in the East.
