FINAL SCORE: Bucks 128, Celtics 123
IN BRIEF: The Celtics tried to make a game of it against the Bucks and trimmed an 18-point halftime lead to single digits, but Giannis Antetokounmpo and company were able to withstand the comeback. Kemba Walker led the Celtics with 40 points and 11 rebounds but couldn't quite overcome the Bucks' superb effort from downtown (51.6 percent from 3-point range).
CELTICS RECORD: 27-13 (3rd in Eastern Conference)
