A first vs. second clash in the Eastern Conference turned into a total dud on Thursday, but Thanasis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks added some late drama anyway.
Neither athlete was a featured player in the game itself. Antetokounmpo finished with one point, one assist and three fouls in seven minutes, while Griffin had four points, one assist and three fouls in six minutes.
The larger story of the game was an out-of-nowhere stopping by the Celtics, who currently sit in second behind only the Bucks in the East. The Bucks entered the game effectively at full strength, but watched Boston open up a chasmic lead in the second quarter as its offense got going. The Celtics finished the game shooting 22-of-43 from 3-point range with only eight turnovers. Jayson Tatum led all scorers with 40 points on 12-of-18 shooting with eight rebounds, while Brown had 30 points, five rebounds and five assists.
The win puts the Celtics three games behind the Bucks the East's top seed, but that goal is probably out of reach with only five games left to play for each team. At the very least, it's an encouraging performance ahead of the playoffs for a team that seemed to take a step backward after the All-Star break.
