In a closely contested NBA game, the Boston Celtics managed to secure a victory over the Milwaukee Bucks with a final score of 122-119. Despite a significant 21-6 run by the Bucks in the closing minutes, reducing the Celtics' lead to just six points, Boston held on to win. This victory was particularly notable as the Bucks were playing without their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, termed as the 'Giannis-less Bucks'. The win extends the Celtics' winning streak to seven games, marking their 10th straight win at home, and further solidifies their position at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, now leading by 11 games with only 13 games left in the season. Additionally, the Celtics have clinched the Atlantic Division title and secured at least a 2-seed in the East, with their magic number to clinch the #1 seed now at three. Key performances included Jayson Tatum with 31 points and 8 rebounds, and Damian Lillard, playing for Milwaukee, scoring 32 points. The Celtics' record improves to 55-14 as they survived the Bucks' late rally.
