00:00That's how the second quarter comes to a close as the NASSAS
00:04nearly got his hand on that one.
00:0757-43, the score at recess here in downtown Milwaukee.
00:14Celtics on the second night of a back-to-back
00:15looking good so far.
00:17Halftime show next.
00:45Субтитры делал DimaTorzok
01:00Let's hear from the coaches at halftime.
01:01Abby Chin, what did you hear?
01:03Yes, speaking with assistant coach DJ McClay.
01:06Obviously, for the Celtics team tonight, the focus is on transition defense.
01:10Facing off against Giannis Antetokounmpo, DJ told me by their numbers, they gave up 17 points in transition.
01:16They would like to shore that up, not allow themselves to get cross-matched defensively and leave an open lane
01:21for Giannis.
01:22Offensively, he said, we're moving the ball.
01:23We're doing a great job crashing the boards.
01:25We've got to keep playing hard here on the second night of a back-to-back and keep moving the
01:29ball.
01:31You still there?
01:32Yes.
01:33Did he say anything about building a wall and not letting Giannis see gaps?
01:37Anything about gaps or walls?
01:39He did not say either of those two words.
01:42Just to get back in transition and make sure they know what their match-ups are and trying to stop
01:46Giannis.
01:47Okay, thank you.
01:48All right, thanks, Abby.
01:49First half stats by Jason Stone Injury Lawyers.
01:51Official injury law firm of the Boston Celtics.
01:54Injured?
01:54Better phone stone.
01:56Pay and second chance points.
01:58And a real difference maker.
02:00About Sam Hauser getting a block on A.J. Green to start the third.
02:04And Buccovich with a miss.
02:07It'll be Bucs ball.
02:09Bucco for three from downtown.
02:10One for seven overall.
02:11Just two points.
02:12He does have three assists and four rebounds.
02:16Statistically, though, the star from the first half is Hugo Gonzalez.
02:19Ten points, nine rebounds, four of them on the offensive end.
02:23He is one rebound away from his second career double-double.
02:29Defending Giannis here on the block.
02:31Four Celtics converged and it doesn't matter.
02:38Maybe you have to read Hugo's stats again.
02:41Ten points, nine rebounds.
02:44Nothing you can do about that.
02:46He looks so surprised.
02:51Here is White.
02:52He had 11 in the first half.
02:53Tied with Pritchard for tops on the team.
02:58Giannis grabs the rebound and just watch out.
03:01This is what D-Mac was telling Abby.
03:03Got to do a better job getting back and dealing with Giannis in transition.
03:07Back to D-Cell's game.
03:10Watch.
03:11You're telling me this wouldn't be unstoppable?
03:14So watch from the contact to the carryover.
03:17Hit.
03:17D-Cell over.
03:18Layup.
03:20If that was in his game, I mean, everybody's in trouble.
03:27Well, congrats, Gal.
03:28You did it.
03:29Somehow it happened.
03:30I didn't do anything.
03:31They got the word to Giannis.
03:33In the 15 minutes between the second and third quarter, someone worked with him on that.
03:38So that's my point.
03:39Like, there's a lot of, right, square peg and round hole with Giannis.
03:43I'm just going to run you over and leave it to the rim.
03:45But that right there makes him unguardable.
03:49And it's really easy to pass off the plates like that as well.
03:54I don't understand why he doesn't do it more.
03:57But it's easier to pass when you're going 10 miles an hour than 100, basically.
04:02And crashing into a wall.
04:03Yeah.
04:04Vucevic, a nice touch on the feed from White.
04:07I'm always impressed by his hands around the basket, whether it's a floater or a jump hook.
04:12Right-hand, left-hand, impressive.
04:15Giannis' first attempt from deep is off the mark.
04:18Shireman the rebound.
04:20Then Akubo on the season is actually shooting almost 40% from distance but on limited volume.
04:25White, there's that de-sal, but he missed it.
04:27Can't believe that one didn't go down.
04:33Giannis, the spin, his strides.
04:36He covers so much ground.
04:37Yeah, as I'm saying, like the poise, driving the basketball with poise,
04:42is much more in control and dangerous for Giannis
04:46than playing the way that he played.
04:49And Houser, Houser, a flick of the wrist.
04:53And Drew, tell him what he did last time he was here with his homecoming.
04:56He was 0 for 10 from the floor, 0 for 9 from three-point range.
05:01There is Ugo's double-double, second of his career.
05:04First one was at Toronto.
05:07But as they say, the ball finds energy.
05:10Gonzalez has certainly brought that.
05:13White to his left hand.
05:15Vucevic, the pick-and-pop.
05:16Gonzalez did not hesitate.
05:19Have a night, Ugo.
05:21Playing incredible.
05:30This guy had a night last time the Celtics were a reporter.
05:33He's been quiet today.
05:35Seven points and no assists.
05:37Jane gets it back to Giannis.
05:41Gonzalez staring at the Greek freak.
05:43Giannis, the fadeaway.
05:46And it's Celtics ball.
05:50Watch this play by Houser.
05:52I mean, that is one dribble pull-up off a handback.
05:55That's tough.
05:56Almost like giving A.J. Green a little bit of his own medicine.
06:00The A.J. Green-Sam Houser matchup.
06:02That's a fun one.
06:04Green is scoreless.
06:050 for 3.
06:06Houser has 11 points.
06:083 for 6 from downtown.
06:11Vucevic, good position.
06:12And White fed him.
06:13Yeah, really smart play by Derek White.
06:16He just had a really good ability to put that ball where only the offensive player can catch it.
06:2317-point lead for the Seas.
06:26Celtics up 17.
06:27But we want to take a moment to highlight Jay Stellany.
06:31This is the Celtics Director of Sports Science and Athletic Development.
06:34He's one of the Australians that Scal and Drew were always talking about.
06:38Keeping the Celtics healthy and bouncy.
06:40Well, Drew, walking the walk while he's talking the talk.
06:44It is.
06:44It's Jace, excuse me.
06:45The Electric Moment is presented by Audi.
06:47Visit your New England Audi dealer today.
06:50On Saturday night, Jace playing for Team USA Rugby.
06:53Scored a try and was named Man of the Match.
06:57He only had to miss one game wearing that stellar helmet.
07:00Jace, of course, from Australia, has been playing rugby since he was six years old alongside his three brothers.
07:07I learned today, Jace, one of seven siblings.
07:10So, shout-out to Shelley and Greg Delaney watching back in Australia at 35 years young.
07:16Jace said he's still pretty sore from that game.
07:18He played all 80 minutes, was prepared, ready, and he is just a little bit bummed that he won't be
07:25able to tour with the team when they go to the U.K. later this month.
07:28Wait a minute, no load management?
07:30No load management for Jace Delaney.
07:33No minutes restriction?
07:34Absolutely not.
07:35No sub?
07:36No, but he said he wears that helmet because he had to get eight stitches in his head a year
07:41ago playing for one of the teams in Boston.
07:43Oh, man.
07:45Yes.
07:45Well, the Australian team, like Abby said, we don't just talk the talk.
07:50We walk the walk over here.
07:51Those guys are awesome.
07:54And I don't know what they're going to do without him when they're touring the U.K.
07:57Jace might be their MVP.
07:59Shireman with a nice touch on the floater.
08:00In case you're wondering, Jace's position in rugby is hooker.
08:06He plays hooker, and he scored that touchdown out of a dummy rock or a dummy half.
08:13I'm still trying to learn the terminology.
08:15All I know is Luke Cornett's not cool with that.
08:22He didn't bow like that.
08:27Oh, yeah.
08:29There we go.
08:29Oh, and we move on quickly.
08:3414 points, right there.
08:44That's an offensive foul.
08:48Ugo draws it as Turner tried to set the screen.
08:51Yeah, Doc's not going to like that.
08:53Let's take a look.
08:55Right call.
08:56It's the right call.
08:57If you go underneath, you have to actually bail out of the screen.
09:05Ugo just making things happen.
09:12Ugo flips the screen, gets a pass from White.
09:16Shireman spotting up now drives, kicked it over to Rollins.
09:21Giannis navigates five Celtics in the paint.
09:24Turner keeps it hot for Porter, drives, drives dish.
09:28Adetokounmpo missed it.
09:30Look at all the bodies around the ball.
09:35White with a great close on Porter.
09:38Now, Kevin Porter back to the basket, four to shoot.
09:41Rollins is blocked by Gonzalez.
09:43He's doing a little bit of everything.
09:45Gonzalez is having a game.
09:48Oh, yeah.
09:48You go, Ugo.
09:50White finds him on the cut.
09:5215 for the 20-year-old.
10:01Oh, and Porter gets the whistle.
10:04There's nothing Ugo can't do tonight.
10:06His energy from the very first possession throughout this game,
10:11he is making big-time play.
10:12Look at that closeout.
10:14Gets the block, keeps it inbound.
10:17And then here he goes on the other end of the floor,
10:20slashing to the basket for the layup.
10:25That was the seventh assist for Derek White.
10:27Celtics have 22 as a team on 29 made shots.
10:30Those assist numbers have gone way up,
10:33especially since the All-Star.
10:34Yeah, I'm sure you know this.
10:36Why?
10:36How is Jace allowed to play for Team USA?
10:39Isn't he from Australia?
10:41Well, Joel Embiid set the precedent.
10:45So we got some Grant Hill type of stuff going on?
10:50Jace has lived here for a while.
10:52Has he?
10:52Mate, have you lived here for a while?
10:54Yeah, I think so.
10:55Okay.
10:56He's been with the Celtics for a long time.
10:58How many years you got to live here?
11:00Now I don't know how the Rugby Federation works, dude.
11:04Boots with the air balls.
11:06Come on, Ugo.
11:07Walk in.
11:10You're doing everything else right.
11:13Like a 23-point lead for the Seas.
11:16Both these teams playing on night.
11:17Two of a back-to-back.
11:18Bucs played during the day yesterday, though, in Chicago.
11:20So a little short trip back.
11:24Adetokubo traveled.
11:25And an offensive foul.
11:29Guess who drew it again?
11:31Gonzalez.
11:32See, the very first possession of the second half,
11:35Ugo gets dunked on by Giannis.
11:37This time, he's ready for it.
11:38Take a look.
11:39Right there, goes down.
11:42He gets that offensive foul.
11:53That exasperated stance.
11:54We've seen Doc Rivers in that before.
11:56Coaching against the Celtics with the Bucs.
11:58Remember when this guy Pritchard hit that buzzer beater at the corner?
12:03And Doc couldn't believe it.
12:06Shireman left it short.
12:08Vucevic taps it.
12:09Shireman comes up with it right in front of the Bucs bench.
12:13Almost went down, but Giannis with his 10th rebound.
12:15He's got 19 and 10 in 21 minutes.
12:19We'll see how many he plays tonight.
12:21First game back after more than a month as Rollins buries a three.
12:26Yeah, Giannis, it's starting to look like he's slowing down just a bit.
12:31I mean, you probably go to the bench right now,
12:33and I don't know how many more minutes he'll end up playing.
12:41Shireman skips it.
12:42Rollins got a hand.
12:43One of the top deflections guys in the NBA.
12:50Jericho Sims returns for Milwaukee.
12:52Celtics make some changes of their own.
13:00Giannis takes a seat.
13:05He hasn't played in 15 games, and All-Star break was in there.
13:09It's got to be about six weeks.
13:12Yeah, six weeks.
13:14Pritcher turns the corner, skates all the ways.
13:18Walsh, offensive rebound.
13:20Harper Jr. floats and scores.
13:22Oh, yeah.
13:23Oh, yeah.
13:28What focus.
13:31First of all, Celtics, man.
13:33Give him credit for pounding the glass.
13:34Jordan Walsh with that nice play.
13:37Oh, they're going to challenge that.
13:39Greenlight special.
13:42Take a look again.
13:45I think that's going to be overturned.
13:48All right.
13:48We'll have to call when you come back.
13:50Slash waitlist to learn more about joining the season.
13:52Ticket member waitlist presented by TD.
13:56Successful challenge.
13:58Yeah, so you go back.
13:59Look at, yeah.
14:00Look at Porter.
14:01Left foot.
14:02It gets down.
14:04So you've got to stop it right there.
14:05If he was sliding the left foot, it would be a block.
14:09But since that left foot was established, you're allowed to move a little bit when you establish that lead foot.
14:18So they've flipped the foul.
14:20Bobby Portis and Tony Dobbins sharing a laugh.
14:26Sam Cassell.
14:29Something to say as well.
14:34So offensive foul on Harper Jr.
14:37Erase the basket.
14:39Still a 20-point lead for the Celts.
14:46Tony's one of the good guys in coaching, man.
14:48Yeah, we got a good staff.
14:50They're intense.
14:52And I guess the players feel like, you know, they hear them, hear their voice.
15:02Here is Portis over Pritchard for three.
15:06So that's a good little sequence for Bobby Portis.
15:12Bucs are nine for 27 from deep tonight.
15:15On the season, they shoot better than 40% from three at home, which is best in the league.
15:20Overall, they're second to Denver in three-point percentage.
15:27Five to shoot.
15:29It's Pritchard.
15:30Defended by Porter.
15:31Step back, short Porter.
15:33Tough shot.
15:34Pete Nance, the rebound, getting his first run of the game.
15:43And his three is good.
15:45So two threes in a row for the Bucs.
15:48Joe Mazzulli calls a timeout.
15:49He is not happy as he chats with Vinny and Maru.
15:54It's a good timeout.
15:55The Celtics have got to get locked back in.
15:57You don't want to mess around with this Bucs team.
16:02Bernie and Phils save up to $2,500 going on now at Bernie and Phils.
16:08Celtics are back up to first in offensive rating just past the Nuggets.
16:11Their sixth in defensive rating, which has been climbing.
16:15Oklahoma City is the only other team in the league who's top six on both ends of the floor.
16:20And Scal, the Celtics are now on pace to finish top six in offense and defense for the fourth year
16:26in a row.
16:27Yeah, incredible.
16:28I mean, in the years past, it makes sense.
16:31Look at the personnel that we had.
16:33But what we're getting out of these guys is unheard of in the NBA.
16:39Four years in a row, Matt is up with Joe Mazzulli's tenure as the head coach as Harper buries a
16:44three.
16:44And each guy is playing above what we thought their limits were.
16:53That's how you win coach of the year, right?
16:54And if you're around the Celtics, you realize that every single person has a say in their development.
17:03This team is greater than the sum of its parts, that's for sure.
17:07As Pete Nance sticks another, so he comes right off the bench and hits two threes in two minutes.
17:14That was pretty good defense, a lot of energy.
17:16Pete Nance was left three late.
17:22But this should be a Pritchard matchup.
17:24He likes the bigger guys on him.
17:29Spins back around, gives it up Garza.
17:31Now he twirls past Sims.
17:33Pritchard gets it back.
17:36And Nance the rebound.
17:38Pete Nance, the brother of Larry Jr., son of Larry Sr., NBA family.
17:47He's got the hot hand.
17:49Harper defending him.
17:51Walsh on Porter Jr. as we approach two minutes to play in the third.
17:56Porter drives, kicks it.
17:58Nance stepped on the sideline.
18:00Celtics ball.
18:07Derek White's going to return just to settle him down a little bit.
18:12A lot of stuff has happened in this game, but in the center of it all is Derek White's running
18:17this team.
18:18And they seem to have a lot more composure with Derek's out there.
18:28That's a foul on Rollins.
18:34First in the quarter against the Bucs.
18:37First in the last two.
18:39Side out for the C's right in front of their old coach, Doc Rivers.
18:44They're showing the replay on the Jumbotron.
18:46Doc Rivers is upset, but that was a hip check to me.
18:50It didn't look like much.
18:52Definitely not as bad as Lou Dore.
18:54But enough contact for them to blow the whistle.
18:57White hangs, missed it.
18:59Garza on the offensive glass.
19:01He goes down.
19:02Porter now picks it up, and he's tied up by Harper.
19:12Derek White made a nice play to the basket.
19:15She's kind of missed the layup.
19:16Obviously, Garza's right in there in the middle of it.
19:21There's a jump ball.
19:25Harper, Jr., he's got some long arms.
19:28He might win this.
19:31It's the juniors.
19:32Harper, Jr. versus Porter, Jr.
19:37Garza and Sims, right side of your screen.
19:48Yeah, Harper wins the race to it.
19:54Rush 24 for the Celtics.
19:56Pritchard, I don't think you'd like that matchup.
19:59Gives it up to White.
20:00He pulls.
20:05Bucs have cut this to 14.
20:08Rollins, a nice move and finish.
20:13Milwaukee has the momentum right now, so he's got to get it back.
20:28White from a tough angle, a great shot.
20:31Like I said, with Derek White, it settles a little bit more when he's out there.
20:35He needs to make big plays.
20:37He can make those.
20:38White, his first two points for the second half.
20:41Porter drops it off.
20:42Porter's missed it.
20:45And White settles it down.
20:47It should go two for one right here, Drew.
20:52White, so savvy.
20:54Knows the clock.
20:55Bumps.
20:56Free throws for Derek White right on time for the two for one.
21:01This is what being a winning player is.
21:05Understanding the situation.
21:07Time score.
21:07What needs to happen during this time.
21:09And also, not predetermining and saying, I have to be the one that shoots him.
21:14Derek White is playing.
21:15He's being aggressive.
21:16He understands the situation.
21:18But he's not like going over the top and taking back shots and getting good shots.
21:23Layup or ones where he can get to the pre-time.
21:40Pat Freo giving Ryan Rollins an explanation.
21:43Rollins saying, White hit me in the chin.
21:46It wasn't his airspace, though.
21:49White hits them both.
21:52Only starter on the floor right now for the Celtics.
22:02Porter draws two.
22:04Nance the open man.
22:05Good recovery and help from Walsh.
22:07Throws it to the backcourt.
22:08And that's a turnover.
22:11Celtics, once again, will get the final shot of the quarter.
22:13And here comes Sam Hauser again.
22:15I think Drew, Drew listened to our pre-game.
22:17And he is doing everything he can for me not to win the step-up battle.
22:26Again, Pritchard thrives in these last-shot scenarios.
22:33Hauser hit a buzzer-beater in the first quarter.
22:37He's in the corner here, top of your screen.
22:39White on the ball.
22:43Ten seconds left in the third.
22:48Now five seconds.
22:49Yeah, Pritchard looking to cook.
22:51Nance the step-back.
22:52The hits.
22:54Buzzer-beater King with .4.
23:01Remember, Peyton Pritchard drives off these moments.
23:04I don't think he played great today, but that shot right there could change it all around.
23:10Celtics up big.
23:11Could catalyze him to take over the fourth quarter and bury the Bucs.
23:17Already an 18-point lead for the Celtics on the road.
23:23Getting creamed by the Celtics right now.
23:2583-65.
23:26We start the fourth quarter.
23:28Cesar a plus.
23:2918.
23:30Trying to wrap up this mini road trip with a win.
23:32Road to victory brought to you by Sullivan Tire.
23:34We're always here to get you there.
23:35Drew said an 18-point lead.
23:36You've got to make sure you guard the three.
23:38Just limit turnovers.
23:41Let's check out the stats through three by Jason Stone, injury lawyer's official injury law firm of the Boston Celtics.
23:47Injured.
23:48Better bone stone.
23:49Vucevic off to a good start in the fourth.
23:52Still like our second chance points.
23:54I think that that's been a big difference for us.
23:56That third quarter wasn't much of a factor, but I thought we were clutch late in that third.
24:04Vucevic off to a good start in the fourth quarter.
24:05Camp Thomas in there.
24:07Ryan Rollins way off.
24:09Jericho Sims an offensive rebound.
24:11Bucks the worst offensive rebounding team in the NBA this season.
24:15Thomas.
24:17And boots the rebound.
24:22Celtics a plus eight on the glass entering this fourth quarter.
24:27Plus 22 last night in the win over Philly, which got him to 40 wins on the year.
24:33I guess it doesn't technically count as 40-20.
24:38Oh, 40-20 doesn't come before the 20th loss.
24:41But still, 40-20 right now.
24:43That quarter shot is a two.
24:46That's a big Bill Jackson thing, right?
24:49With 40-20 and you have a chance to win a championship.
24:51Yeah, he popularized that.
24:53The last team that didn't start 40-20 and won was the Bucks in 2021.
24:58Overall, 42 of the last 46 champs hit 40 wins before 20 losses.
25:04Here is Rollins.
25:07And Walsh taps it out of bounds.
25:10I think we're playing on this basketball right now.
25:15And that doesn't mean that's based off of results or made shot.
25:19It's just guys cutting, spacing, defensive rotation, playing with energy, rolls.
25:26I just feel like we're hitting our stride right now.
25:35Portis was out of bounds at Celtics Balls.
25:39And not only are the Celtics playing their best ball of the year, but biggest X factor in the entire
25:45playoffs.
25:45That's number zero for the Seas.
25:48We'll see what happens with Jason Tatum.
25:52We've heard all the rumors.
25:53I don't know if they're true or not, but it's going to be interesting next couple games for the Seas.
26:05He's coming back strong.
26:06And my guy is coming back strong.
26:09He's up to 16 points.
26:10Yes, he is.
26:12Seven assists.
26:12We've got to get Houser back in the game.
26:14Oh, man.
26:15I got my step-up guy dominating your step-up guy, Ford.
26:22Oh, and Pritchard almost had the steal on Yon as he kept it.
26:25That was nearly a sitter on the heel of the rim, and he's fouled.
26:34Is that what you guys call that a Syracuse?
26:36Or a pigeon because it sits on the ledge.
26:38I think that's an eye on Eagle.
26:39There's a block right there by Booge.
26:46Foul was on Gonzalez, his second.
27:07Foul was on Boots.
27:09You'll see the drive by Thomas.
27:12Goes up strong.
27:14Boots didn't do much.
27:18He has his hand on his shoulder, but that was before the shot.
27:23Either way, Cam Thomas at the line.
27:25That's his first point of the night.
27:27Here's a message from our sister station, NBC10 Boston.
27:30We've issued a first alert.
27:32We're tracking a mix of rain and snow that could disrupt your afternoon tomorrow.
27:35I have the timeline over on NBC10 Boston tonight after the game.
27:43Pete loves to bring that doomsday news.
27:46Man, I don't want to hear the four-letter S-word from you anymore, Pete.
27:49We're done with that.
27:50I'm talking about snow.
27:52I don't want to hear that.
27:56Here is Pritchard.
27:58Scout said it.
27:59It only takes one, and he can heat up.
28:01Five to shoot.
28:02Gets rid of it.
28:04Gonzalez can't cash it out.
28:06Now Thomas leads the break the other way.
28:09The cross.
28:10The step back.
28:11Oh, he changed those pivots.
28:12Yes, he did.
28:13It's a trial.
28:13Oh.
28:15I mean, the fog was like, hey.
28:19Thank you to everyone who texted, tweeted, let us know.
28:22Yeah, I appreciate the people who texted me.
28:25I appreciate it.
28:25I got it in there.
28:26And Dad, thank you for texting me.
28:28I guess I said touchdown when talking about rugby.
28:30I know it's a try.
28:32It's a try.
28:32Jace scored a try, and he was the man of the match.
28:40Vucevic got bumped, didn't get the whistle.
28:42It doesn't matter.
28:43He got the basket.
28:44Yeah, we're executing at a high level.
28:45It is really a lot easier with Vuce out there to execute that offense.
28:58Rollins in the paint.
29:00Vucevic lets Giannis shoot.
29:03That one in and out.
29:05Really, it's incredible to think about.
29:07If you had told someone at the start of the season,
29:08by March, as Hugo draws the foul,
29:12by March, Namish Kato will have a game with 27 and 17
29:16and 10 offensive rebounds in three blocks.
29:19Then he'll get the rest night on night two of a back-to-back.
29:21And then Nikola Vucevic will start the next game for the Celtics.
29:25Compared to what we were thinking before the season,
29:28when everyone was freaking out, it's minimum guys.
29:31Yeah, I agree.
29:32I mean, I can understand why people are freaking out.
29:35Like, historically, minimum bigs have not done well in the NBA.
29:39But it's different in Boston.
29:42Yes, it is.
29:43But if the slogan is different here?
29:46Yep.
29:46Sure is.
29:47That's one reason why.
29:52Some Bucs fans heading for the exit as Pritchard steps it back.
29:56Come on!
29:56It was on line.
29:58Walsh, the offensive rebound.
30:00Pritchard, reload.
30:01Let's go!
30:03You better get Hauser back in that game, Drew Carter.
30:07Your dream of calling Mr. Step Up is going down.
30:13Well, Pritchard heating up.

30:28Here's the Hyundai Drive.
30:30The Hyundai getaway sales event has deals so right it almost feels wrong.
30:33Oh, yeah, your local Hyundai dealer, Ugo Gonzalez.
30:37I mean, look at this play.
30:39He attacks.
30:41And I'm talking about building a wall against Giannis.
30:43He fills the wall against Ugo Gonzalez as he lays it up for your Hyundai Drive.
30:52Maybe his best game of his rookie season.
30:5415 points, 13 rebounds.
30:57Better than Toronto game?
31:01Statistically, yeah.
31:03Well, check the plus-minus.
31:05There's his 14th rebound, and he saves it.
31:07Yeah, you're right.
31:07He's always a plus-minus darling.
31:13Just like Derek White, Celtics have run away from the Bucs here.
31:18Up by 24, 7.20 to play.
31:21Time to cook.
31:22Yeah, Pritchard smoking in the fourth.
31:25Inside to Garza, who's fouled before the ball gets there.
31:30It was some sauce on that pass from Pritchard.
31:34It was.
31:34How do you see that from back here, though?
31:36Because he's playing this way.
31:38I can correct him.
31:39Yeah, me.
31:40You know.
31:40You know.
31:41You know.
31:41You know.
31:44You know.
31:44You know.
31:48You know.
31:49What's the game within the game, Drew?
31:50That's right.
31:51Dick White pointed out that the Celtics have won 14 games in a row, where Pritchard made a shot in
31:56the final two seconds of the court.
31:58And we're going to tell him that.
31:59I guarantee nobody on the Celtics knows that.
32:02White for three.
32:04The floodgates have opened.
32:09That was an assist for Pritchard.
32:12So, White has 18 and 9.
32:15Pritchard has 19 and 8.
32:16How's that for symmetry?
32:22Yannis still in the game.
32:23Got to think this night will be over soon with this game out of hand.
32:36Pritchard against Sims.
32:38Gives it up.
32:40Now gets it back.
32:42Late shot clock again.
32:43Pritchard got it outside to White.
32:46Keeps it moving.
32:47Walsh drives the close.
32:48Can't lay it in.
32:50Carrs has got the offensive rebound.
32:52What a challenge by Jordan Balls over Yannis.
32:57An extra possession.
33:00White can't catch it in, but Gonzalez fouled.
33:03Rollins may be getting a little frustrated trying to deal with the rookie.
33:08When you take everything into account, defense, offense, transition, it doesn't have to be running, getting fast breakers, running the
33:17floor.
33:18We might be the hardest playing team in the NBA.
33:23It's almost like we talked about the Bucs.
33:27Bucs are good offensively.
33:28Don't rebound, don't defend.
33:30But like, we just talked about us being in the top six in both those categories.
33:35There's probably nothing that we don't try to maximize.
33:38Jumlazoo is trying to maximize every single thing.
33:42Uh-oh, there's your guy.
33:43Yeah, Hauser back in the game.
33:45Gives it up to Pritchard saying you can't be doing that.
33:48Get it back.
33:49Oh, Pritchard.
33:53I mean, he just checked in, Drew.
33:55Give him a break.
33:55He's settled in a little bit.
33:58There goes Rollins.
33:59Drives it on white.
34:01I think a good way to put it, Scalic, Celtics might have the highest floor of any team in the
34:05league nights and nights.
34:06Just with...
34:07Man.
34:08Maybe he should be the analyst.
34:10With how hard they play and how they always control the margins.
34:14That's a great way of putting it.
34:16The highest floor in the league.
34:20They had a pretty high ceiling.
34:22Hauser needed that for the step-up battle.
34:26Hauser's at 14.
34:28Pritchard's at 19.
34:32Gonzalez with his 15th rebound.
34:35Whoever picked Ugo, probably Forsberg.
34:37He's running away with this thing.
34:39Yeah.
34:40Final five minutes are presented by Eastern Bank.
34:43Join us for good.
34:45The Bucs only scored 79 points against the Celtics in the last meeting.
34:50They're stuck on 69 here.
34:51Under five.
34:52And Pritchard buries another.
34:55And in the process, he's buried the Bucs.
34:58It's a 30-point game.
35:00Under five to play.
35:01Doc Rivers has seen enough.
35:03And Scalic...
35:04Stop by your favorite honeydew today.
35:06Do life.
35:06By your New England Chevy dealers.
35:09By Jason Stone, injury lawyers.
35:13Time now for the FW Webb assist.
35:16Ugo with the block.
35:17Gets the rebound.
35:19But he's not done.
35:20It's the FW Webb assist.
35:21Derek White, who's been awesome today, dropping dimes.
35:24Hits Ugo on the cut as he lays it in.
35:29And for assist with heating, pipe, valves, fire protection, and more,
35:32the pros go to FW Webb.
35:37The White done for the night as the Celtics lead it by 30.
35:41Ugo Gonzalez has been the star today.
35:4415 and 15.
35:46Five offensive rebounds.
35:48And a big plus again for the Celtics is that means little pros got to go on the road with
35:54us more often.
35:55Yeah, he does.
35:57Little pros scared to talk to me, though.
35:59I don't know why.
36:01Pray to the microphone.
36:03Doesn't want to get fined.
36:05Andre Jackson Jr. is in the game.
36:06Quickly throws up an air ball.
36:08Offensive rebound by Sims.
36:10Gets it back.
36:10There's Jackson.
36:11Great athlete.
36:12Missed it again.
36:13But Sims on the cleanup.
36:15That's a reminder that AAU is right around the corner.
36:21A lot of the back air balls.
36:23A lot of mislead.
36:24A lot of athletic plays.
36:27Don't tell that to Kevin Durant.
36:29He loves AAU.
36:31Pritchard.
36:32I do, too.
36:32Yes.
36:33Talk about a blowout.
36:36Pritchard blowing out the step-up game again.
36:38Look at Howser laughing about it.
36:40And I thought I was going to be Drew's step-up guy.
36:42Not a laughing matter, Sam.
36:45But Howser played well.
36:47Really well.
36:49After he had that over.
36:51First trip here to his home state of Wisconsin.
36:54Sam came back with 14.
36:56Made four threes tonight.
36:58Pritchard has been the closer.
36:59Gonzalez was the starter.
37:01Comes up short.
37:03And the Celtics are just out-efforting these guys.
37:06Not even close.
37:06Harper for three.
37:08Too strong.
37:09Rebounded by Usman Jain.
37:15Amari Williams gets set to check in.
37:19Harris hits a three.
37:25Bucks shooting above 36% from downtown.
37:29And losing by 26.
37:34I love that comment about the floor.
37:37It's so true.
37:38The Celtics can beat you a lot of ways because shot barge in, how hard they play, the plays that
37:44both guys make.
37:46Shireman.
37:48Thumbs up.
37:49Yep.
37:49Derek White says thumbs up.
37:51Thumbs up.
37:53You've got to give this Celtics performance two thumbs up.
37:57And this will be a fun moment here.
37:59John Tonje is getting ready to check in for the Celtics in addition to Williams and Max Schulge.
38:04Tonje played his last year at college hoops at the University of Wisconsin and was a superstar.
38:10We'll see him against an extra reception when he comes in.
38:14I got a chance of talking to him in the weight room today.
38:16Good kid.
38:20He was not afraid to talk to you like Hugo's brother.
38:23No.
38:25He was not afraid to talk to you.
38:32Late shot clock.
38:33Here goes Shireman to the basket.
38:35Kick it out.
38:35Pritchard.
38:36Will he beat the buzzer again?
38:40Come on.
38:41Take a foul.
38:42He's got out of here.
38:44Yeah, Pritchard looking to do just that.
38:48And with 1.52 to play.
38:50Some subs coming in for the C's.
38:52Here's a message from Ace Ticket.
38:55Boston's own Ace Ticket has great seats for all Red Sox games.
38:59Opening day.
39:00Yankees games.
39:01Summer games.
39:02Be at Fenway this season.
39:04Visit aceticket.com right now.
39:07So Amari Williams, Max Schulge, John Tonje into the game for the Celtics.
39:16What a night it was for Hugo Gonzalez.
39:21Got an amazing stat for you.
39:23We'll give you in just a second here.
39:26Pritchard led the way with 25 points.
39:28Jackson's pass.
39:30Poging, man.
39:31Does that make it?
39:31Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
39:32Right around the corner.
39:34No look.
39:35Bounce pass out of bounds.
39:38It's coming.
39:40March here.
39:43It's like, it's not winter is coming.
39:47Airballs are coming.
39:48AAU.
39:49I like AAU.
39:51Hugo.
39:53For Trace.
39:54Oh, yeah.
39:54That's how you cap off the best night of your young career.
40:0018-15.
40:01Dick Light's going to have to update this stat.
40:05Well, maybe not because Celtic rookies with at least 15 points, 15 rebounds, three steals
40:10and two blocks.
40:11Hugo Gonzalez and Larry Bird.
40:14Who had 29-17, three steals, two blocks against Detroit back in 1979.
40:23Oh, it's good.
40:24Bagging up those stats.
40:25Yeah, he's good.
40:26Keep adding to it now.
40:2819-16.
40:31That's usually 18-16.
40:37A steal by Gary Trent.
40:39Bucks have two Garys in the game right now, and Trent will go to the line.
40:44I think the record for most Garys on the floor at one time is Dick Light.
40:52Get on it.
41:05Well, tonight after Celtics postgame live, tune in to Town Fair Tire BST with Felger and Holly.
41:10Mike Felger and Michael Holly have the latest on the Celtics, Patriots, Bruins, and Red Sox.
41:21Another all-around effort for the Celtics, who just keep this train rolling.
41:26No Jalen Brown, no Namiya Shkata, night two of a back-to-back, no problem here in Milwaukee.
41:34That's a good win and good energy.
41:36They found a way again.
41:38What's the record for back-to-backs?
41:42Seven and four now.
41:43They had lost three of the last four back-to-backs, but seven and four now.
41:46Yeah, man, for whatever reason, historically, Joe has done a good job in these situations.
41:51And to get a win with Jalen Brown and Cata getting a rest day is really nice.
42:00Coming up after the game, it's postgame live, presented by the New England Four Dealers.
42:06There's Celtics coaches, current and past, and hopefully a long time in the future as well,
42:12as Joe Missoula has done just an outstanding job at the helm of this team.
42:16They're going to move to 41 and 20, maintain their spot as second in the East.
42:21I think you're looking at the coach of the year, folks.
42:24Yeah, it does.
42:25It keeps shaping out to that.
42:31Doing a great job.
42:32I mean, to get what they get out of everybody on a daily basis,
42:36to push all the right buttons, playing the right guys.
42:40Fun team to cover.
42:41They're doing some pretty amazing things.
42:45Fifth game in seven nights.
42:48No JB, no Cata, no problem for the Celtics.
42:51Hugo Gonzalez plays his best game as a pro.
42:54Helps spark them to a comfortable win over Milwaukee tonight in the Cream City.
43:08We'll take one last break, come back, and wrap it up from Fiserv Forum.
