The Milwaukee Bucks were able to erase an early deficit late in the 4th quarter to beat the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day. 

 

The Bucks trailed at halftime 63-47 but used an impressive 43 point 3rd quarter to start trimming their lead, and outscored the Celtics in the 4th quarter to ultimately seal the win in front of the home crowd. 

 

Giannis Antetokounmpo looked good coming off of his COVID related break posting 36 points to go with 12 rebounds. Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday each added 17 points, and Bobby Portis netted 16 points off the bench. 

 

The Celtics were led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown who each scored 25 points in the loss. 

 

The Bucks will next be in action on December 28th as they travel to Orlando to take on the Magic.
