Bucks 123 [win] 102 Celtics, tied 1:1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals

★Pat Connaughton|5 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists

You were ranked No. 1 in the East Region, but you were slaughtered at home in the first game... The Bucks got ready and set off after two days of rest. The Three Horns returned to normal again and jointly scored 78 points! However, under the dazzling performance, Pat Connaughton, who came off the bench, also quietly helped the team equalize the series in a low-key way.

Pat Connaughton didn't score well today, only scoring one three-pointer and scoring 5 points; but his 29 minutes of playing time was the third most on the team because of his excellent defense. Today, I guarded Boston's wing, and even occasionally switched to Kyrie Irving on defense. Relying on his quick judgment, the results were quite good (Irving only scored 9 points today).

What's more important is his excellent rebounding awareness. Whether offensive or defensive, he often appears out of nowhere to take down unowned rebounds, adding more shooting opportunities for the Bucks. So far in the playoffs, he has averaged 6.8 rebounds per game, which is a rare achievement for a 6'4" backup guard. Connaughton is becoming the leader of this high-speed buck in the most low-key way. Mainstay!

A die-hard fan of Damian Lillard. He became a fan of the Trail Blazers because of Lillard. I don’t understand the analysis but I understand the story.
