The Boston Celtics came out against the Milwaukee Bucks in the two East titans’ first meeting of the 2023-24 season like a house on fire, quickly jumping out to an early 21-point lead. But the Bucks battled back late in the second half, nearly stealing a win on the road as Boston won 116-119.
The Celtics shot 52.4% from the floor overall but lost the turnover battle by 6 and saw Milwaukee steal the ball as many times more than the Celtics did. In a tilt that delivered on its high-stakes feel so early in each club’s current campaign, fans may have seen a preview of the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals — and Boston fans ought to like what they saw.
Let’s take a look at some of the best moments captured in images in the Celtics’ 15th game of the 2023-24 NBA season vs. the Milwaukee Bucks.
