For the first time this series Friday night, the Bucks looked like the more talented team.
That got them a comfortable win at home against the Celtics and set up a huge Game 4 on Sunday, with the Celtics still up 2-1 in the series. This looked more like the Bucks team that some of us picked to win the series, the team with the long and superior athletes unleashed on defense to challenge everything Boston tried. Milwaukee also got a big game out of Thon Maker at the five, which helped spread the floor because he’s a threat from three (as a team, the Bucks were 16-of-33 from deep) that the Celtics had to cover. That opens up driving lanes.
Giannis Antetokounmpo took advantage of those lanes laid waste to Aron Baynes with this dunk.

Damn. That’s not fair.

Game 4 is Sunday afternoon in Milwaukee... and let’s just say I’m not betting Baynes will be able to turn the tables and put the Greek Freak in a poster.
