00:42And welcome to Fiserv Forum where the Celtics look for some revenge after they lost here in December as the
00:48C's check in at 40 and 20.
00:51We can't wait to watch it with you.
00:52Alongside Brian Scalabrini and Abby Chin, I'm Drew Carter.
00:54And Scalabrini, it's been a strange season for Giannis Antetokounmpo with injury issues, speculation about his future.
01:00But when he's on the floor, he's still a monster.
01:02Yeah, he's a problem.
01:03This guy gets out in transition.
01:05At times, it can look clunky, like in the post, when he's trying to get to the front of the
01:10rim.
01:11But one way or another, he's effective.
01:12He can get to the free throw line.
01:14He can get downhill.
01:15Obviously, he's amazing at the rim.
01:18But here's the biggest thing.
01:19When he's in transition, you better build a wall because he's getting to the front of the rim looking to
01:23finish.
01:24Man, I really love the way that Baylor Shireman can play.
01:27Look at how many times he checks off and goes to the next thing.
01:30Big-time hustle plays like that.
01:32He continues to do that throughout the game.
01:34Running down one of the fastest guys in the league in Tyrese Maxey and making huge shots.
01:39Baylor Shireman, night after night, has impressed me.
01:42And yes, I give you the thumbs up.

02:15The exclusive auto, home, and life insurance partner of the Boston Celtics.
02:20All right, Coach, another opportunity to be in a back-to-back.
02:23And all of a sudden, you get the news that Giannis is returning.
02:25Obviously, they haven't played with him in a while.
02:27So how do you adjust to playing against a guy of that stature?
02:31Yeah, I mean, I think you just have to go to all the things that you can control versus a
02:34player like that.
02:34You're not just going to stop him, and there's no secret game plan that you're going to be able to
02:38do.
02:38But there are tendencies.
02:40Obviously, you know, we've played against them a ton of times over the last few years.
02:43And so there's tendencies that you can take away, and there's things that you're going to have to live with.
02:46Everybody in the NBA is trying to get better and get the most out of their guys.
02:50You guys seem to do a really good job with that.
02:52Is there a couple things that kind of single out to you?
02:55I mean, I think the first thing is the commitment and the competitive character of each guy.
02:59I mean, you know, you can't want something more for someone that they don't want it for themselves.
03:02So I think we have a group of guys that want to be good, you know, and that work at
03:05it.
03:05And then I think just developing an environment of development and learning, which comes from our main staff and comes
03:10from our play development staff.
03:11One guy in particular, Baylor Shireman.
03:14I don't know what happened, but his defensive intensity is just like quadruple 10x than what it was at the
03:20beginning.
03:20Like, how do you get that out of him?
03:22That has to be more than just getting on the court and working on your defense.
03:25You know, Baylor is a very smart guy to where he understands, okay, here's where I can make a huge
03:28difference.
03:28And that may look different every night.
03:30It may come from scoring.
03:30It may come from defense.
03:31It may come from rebounding.
03:33It may come from effort players.
03:34And so I think just finding different ways to be impactful is the strength of Baylor's.
03:38And he's highly competitive and wants to be good.
03:40All right, Coach.
03:40Appreciate your time.
03:41Thanks.
03:42All right.
03:42Celtics is geared up on a back-to-back.
03:43Milwaukee's on a back-to-back, but Giannis is in the building.
03:46See if Derek White has something to say about it.
03:48It's how big bucks.
03:49Coming up next.
03:53Go on.
03:54Let me see, let me see, let me see, let me see, let me see.
03:56Go on.
03:57It's time to turn it up.
03:59Look at Booga.
04:00All over the place.
04:02White hot potato.
04:04Food for three.
04:05Good job, man.
04:06Doing what I'm doing, man.
04:08I'm such a show-off.
04:09Don't let me see it go on.
04:11You know about me.
04:13Let me see it go on.
04:14Don't let me drop that.
04:15Let me see it go on.
04:17You ain't hurt at all.
04:18Oh, yes.
04:20It's time to turn it up.
04:22Oh.
04:23Couldn't have said it better myself, Abby.
04:25Here are the starting lineups brought to you by Jordan's Furniture.
04:28For a limited time, get free white glove delivery.
04:31Visit jordans.com.
04:32So we're into March, and both teams roll out a starting five.
04:36A group that has never played together before.
04:39For the Celtics, it's White, Shireman, Gonzalez, Hauser, and Vucevic.
04:42They've never shared the floor together with the Celtics.
04:44For the Bucs, Porter Green, Usman Jang.
04:47Giannis is back, and Miles Turner.
04:48Those five have not played together yet.
04:50Key matchup presented by Subaru of New England.
04:53There's a lot to love about driving a brand-new all-wheel-drive Subaru.
04:57When the Bucs were winning, Miles Turner was actually playing really good.
05:00So maybe he's shaking off the early season rust,
05:03and Vuce just continues to get better for this Celtic squad.
05:07Well, those guys have seen a lot of each other.
05:09When Vuce was in Chicago, Turner was in Indiana in the same division.
05:13So they match up tonight as Nikola Vucevic makes his first start as a Boston Celtic.
05:19Check the health report by South Coast Health, providing exceptional care from people who care.
05:24Both teams on night two of a back-to-back.
05:27So the Celts without Brown and Kata both.
05:30Nimi coming off the best game of his career last night against Philly.
05:34For the Bucs, everyone's healthy except Tori and Prince.
05:37And, of course, the big one on the injury report is the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo,
05:42who's playing for the first time since late January when he strained a calf.
05:46He returns, and you can feel the buzz in this building.
05:49It looks like he's grown two inches.
05:52I don't know.
05:52He's like a superhero.
05:55I don't know.
05:56No one knows the minute restrictions or anything like that for Giannis.
06:00So we'll see how Doc plays here.
06:02Well, he hasn't played off of a minutes restriction since the first 12 games of the season.
06:06He had a hip injury, and then, of course, the calf strains, two of them.
06:10John Goble, Pat Freyer, Beniam Maru are officials tonight.
06:14Here's Hugo Gonzalez making his third career start.
06:17Missed a three to start the game, and the Greek freak with a rebound.
06:21When he's played this year, averaging 28 points, 10 rebounds,
06:24and almost six assists a game, about 65% shooting.
06:28Miles Turner too strong, A.J. Green the rebound, mostly a shooter.
06:33Got the offensive board there.
06:34It'll stay here with 11 to shoot.
06:36All right, so I'm going to define gravity.
06:38When a guy like Giannis has the ball, just watch how much the Celtics are so locked into him.
06:44That creates gravity, and it creates open shots for different guys.
06:48Did you say define gravity or define gravity?
06:51Like, no, no, like a definition.
06:55Thank you.
06:56There's Usma Jain gets the first two of the game.
06:58Jain was a Thunder lottery pick a few years ago.
07:02Got traded three times at the deadline.
07:04Ended up here in Milwaukee.
07:07Baylor Shireman loads it up.
07:09In and out.
07:10Gonzalez on the offensive glass is fouled.
07:14Hugo, if you watch him on that possession, just never stop moving.
07:17He's the one that came into the go screen to the player.
07:20If you watch him right there, and now there's the crash.
07:23Had an advantage.
07:26That's Ugo's kind of a demo.
07:30Let's create energy.
07:36See Ugo's net rating elite in his rookie season.
07:39He turned 20.
07:43About a month ago.
07:44It's the first free throw, though.
07:47Luka Garza.
07:48Peyton Pritchard.
07:49Both those guys should have big rolls off the bench.
07:51Good to see extended run for Luka, assuming we do see it, with known to me as Kata.
07:57So I've seen about three Luka.
08:02Three Gonzalez jerseys and about four Kata jerseys here in Milwaukee.
08:07All right.
08:09Giannis right to the hole.
08:11You have to have two guys there.
08:13One guy is never going to be enough for Giannis.
08:15He has to see two.
08:17Is building a wall still the strategy against him?
08:19You just can't let him get momentum.
08:21One-on-one, he's impossible to stop.
08:25Uchovic off the mark on his first shot.
08:27Been better at home than on the road as a Celtic in his brief tenure.
08:31Here's Kevin Porter Jr.
08:32Had a triple-double the last time the Celtics were here.
08:35Chang puts it in for three.
08:37Seven-nothing start for Milwaukee.
08:41They're wearing their Green City City Edition uniforms.
08:45Green City is Milwaukee's nickname because of the color of the bricks
08:49that were popular in construction in the mid to late 18th century.
08:55This is the Milwaukee trivia for the day.
08:58There is Gonzales, steps through and puts it in.
09:02Really nice move.
09:03Full and strong, splitting two defenders.
09:10Mid to late 19th century, I should say.
09:13But Gonzales with a good start.
09:16This is third start of the season.
09:17First one in almost two months.
09:19Last time we saw him in the starting five was January 10th against San Antonio.
09:23Only played 12 minutes that night.
09:25Turner from the wing.
09:27Giannis the offensive rebound.
09:29Going at Uchovic.
09:31Gonzales tapped it.
09:32Hauser collects.
09:35Homecoming for Sam, a native of Wisconsin.
09:38Out to White for three.
09:39In and out.
09:41Gonzales again all over the glass.
09:43Non-stop movement.
09:45All he does.
09:46He's crashing every time.
09:52Turner missed it again.
09:53Ugo with another rebound.
09:55His third.
09:58Hauser.
09:59Bullseye.
10:00That's a good sign.
10:01He was 0 for 10 from the floor in the Celtics' first trip here this season.
10:05And Drew Carter called it.
10:07He's a step-up guy.
10:08Hauser's Drew's step-up guy.
10:10Five threes and 20 points.
10:13Pretty much guaranteed it.
10:14I planted my flag.
10:17AJ Green can't respond.
10:19Adetokounmpo the rebound.
10:21And Shireman the rip.
10:23And Baylor Shireman doing all the little things.
10:26Even if that thumb fracture makes it difficult for him to shoot,
10:30he's still a valuable player with his defense and rebounding.
10:33Being in the right spots.
10:38White off the handoff.
10:40Bullseye on a three.
10:42Yeah, when you have a 4-5 sort of screen,
10:46no one's going to switch out to Derek White on that.
10:48Good recognition for Derek White.
10:50Way to knock it down.
10:51Oh, my goodness.
10:53Yeah, it's just a freight train going to the basket.
10:56He's fouled by Vooch.
10:58All right.
11:00Watch Ugo.
11:02Constantly moving.
11:03No block out from Kevin Porter Jr.
11:05He's going to go right down the middle.
11:08Ugo's playing with a ton of energy right now.
11:09That was a good look from the dunking can.
11:11It's all about the dunk.
11:16Ugo hadn't missed those two free throws.
11:18He would have scored the first six points for the Seas.
11:20He's now leaded by three.
11:23It's had nothing run.
11:30Giannis about a 66% free throw shooter on the year.
11:34His 13th.
11:36Now 31 years old.
11:38And, Scott, we talked about it before the game.
11:40Really an up and down season for him on the court and off the court.
11:43But the bottom line is when he plays, he's super impactful.
11:46Yeah, I think this is like a reminder to everybody else.
11:49You know, you can forget or you can remember guys' flaws.
11:53But all you got to do is just turn on this game for all these people
11:57who might want to trade for him in the offseason
11:59and be reminded of how impactful he can be.
12:05White, same spot.
12:06This one no good.
12:08And Turner clears the rebound from Milwaukee.
12:11He mentioned the Celtics' first trip here.
12:13They led by seven at halftime,
12:15and then it was all Bucs in the second half
12:17as Gonzalez snatches a steal.
12:20Ahead to his best friend Shireman who drives, kicks.
12:23White keeps it hot.
12:25Ugo attacks the closeout, puts it up.
12:27Comes up short.
12:32In the second half of that game on December 11th,
12:34the Bucs shot 60-plus percent in the second half.
12:37Celtics shot just 26%.
12:40Joe is not happy at all.
12:42Doesn't want his team to get broken down off the dribble.
12:45Joe's going to challenge these guys.
12:47...Dakumbo playing for the first time tonight since January 23rd.
12:51That is when he re-injured his right calf.
12:54Milwaukee head coach Doc Rivers told us
12:56he will be dealing with a bit of a minutes restriction,
12:58but he said that is what it is when it comes to Giannis.
13:02He has been working out with the team for the last couple of weeks
13:05and felt like he was ready for about a week now.
13:07But as you can imagine, the medical staff being very cautious
13:10in bringing him back.
13:12As I mentioned, he has dealt with a calf injury already this season.
13:15The Bucs stay to float through his absence,
13:17finding a little rhythm as of late with wins in eight of their last 12 games.
13:20But they're currently in 11th place in the East,
13:23three games back of that last play-in spot,
13:26which was Doc's focus pre-game telling us
13:29we are not going to overcomplicate this.
13:31We've got Giannis back, and that is great for us.
13:34Every game matters going forward.
13:35That's the position that we put ourselves in,
13:38and we have got to try to get as many wins as possible.
13:41Yeah, I mean, there are three games back of Charlotte,
13:44who the Celtics will see up next back in Boston.
13:47First meeting this season between the Seas and the Hornets,
13:49and if you haven't been paying attention, the Hornets are good.
13:52Here is Nikola Vucevic, puts it in that line drive baby hook, his first two.
13:57So Joe's going to challenge these guys defensively and see how they play.
14:00I want to see how they respond the next couple minutes.
14:03Yeah, Abby mentioned how well they were playing
14:06before Giannis came back tonight.
14:08They were 8-2 over a 10-game stretch in February.
14:12As Jang has it rattled out, another rebound for Gonzalez, his fourth.
14:17In the month of February, the Bucs had the second-best effective field goal percentage
14:21in the lead.
14:23Only the Spurs were better.
14:26Here is Porter.
14:27But the Bucs all season, they've been buying offensively,
14:30defensively that they struggle, and they haven't been a great rebounding team.
14:36For the year, Milwaukee, 23rd in defense, 27th in rebounding overall.
14:43The Celtics, since a slow start in that category, have been an elite rebounding team, really all season.
14:50White got Porter in the air and got fouled.
14:55A lot more driving kick for the Celtics right now.
14:58They're just moving that ball.
14:59They're moving well without the ball, creating those windows to attack closeouts.
15:07Their assist numbers are way up since the All-Star break.
15:12They went from 30th before the All-Star break to 7th in the NBA since then in a system.
15:17And we weren't even shooting the ball that well.
15:21We had the one game against the net, which was historic.
15:24But on that West Coast trip, we didn't shoot the ball that well.
15:27The ball move big was excellent.
15:34So Giannis takes a seat now for the Celtics.
15:37Luka Garza's in the game, so is Peyton Pritchard.
15:41Garza's ready.
15:46Then Akumbo sits with five points and four rebounds in five minutes.
15:51White makes it a two-point Celtics lead midway through the first quarter.
15:55It's the third meeting between these two of the season.
15:58Both teams have won on their home floor already.
16:01Final one will be in April.
16:05As Jericho Sims lost it out of bounds.
16:10Remember that December 11th game was an NBA Cup make-up game,
16:13so three out of the four meetings will be here in Milwaukee.
16:21Hauser turns the corner around Garza, switched on to Turner.
16:25Luka working for position.
16:27He's called for the offensive foul.
16:35Luka a little worse for the wearer after that.
16:37Yeah, I mean, he was working for a post position.
16:43He got A.J. Green right in the face with his elbow.
16:50Look right here.
16:52Watch the elbow crack.
16:53A.J. Green right in the face.
16:59Ryan Rollins in the game, one of the most improved players in the NBA.
17:02A running point for Milwaukee with Porter on the bench now.
17:06Jang is left alone, and he makes the Celtics back.
17:11Yeah, Pritchard got hung up on that.
17:14On that ball.
17:16Got to get out there a little bit quicker.
17:19See, Pritchard can get himself going here early,
17:21coming off his first scoreless game of the season.
17:25He's been quiet as of late.
17:28Single digits in three of his last four games,
17:30including the Gusag last night against Philly.
17:33He finds Garza.
17:34A nice feed.
17:35Got to put it up.
17:36And it goes.
17:38Garza with a lot of contact.
17:40I want to see that again.
17:41He backed up Miles Turner with that shoulder.
17:46Now, Turner shoots it over him.
17:48Not even close.
17:49Ron Harper Jr. battling.
17:51And it's Celtics ball.
17:53Last touch by Jericho Sims.
17:57All right, watch Garza on this one.
17:59Look at this contact.
18:01Bam!
18:02Both guys fall backwards, but Garza shows off the touch.
18:10That was a big boy collision.
18:12You like that no call?
18:13Yeah.
18:14I'm all about no calls.
18:16Let him play.
18:18Yeah, I'm trying to get home before 4 a.m.
18:20Unlike last night.
18:22What happened last night?
18:24Oh, my goodness.
18:25Celtics got to the hotel late, late, late.
18:28Harper Jr. from the corner.
18:30Remember, one of those guys, Brad,
18:32printed up with his 3-D printer.
18:34Hey, someone tweeted at me.
18:363 and D printer.
18:37Yeah, that's what it is.
18:38It's not a 3-D printer.
18:39It's a 3 and D printer.
18:41You know, all the coaches talk about
18:43how much Ron Harper Jr. understands the game,
18:47how to work for the game,
18:48what he is as a player,
18:50and how much confidence he has in the things that he does.
18:55Well, Jordan Walsh, another good example of that.
18:59Here's Bobby Portis, a clear fan favorite here in Milwaukee.
19:14A.J. Green going at Hauser.
19:183 to shoot.
19:19Rawlings fires.
19:19That was blocked by Harper.
19:21Good defense from the Seas.
19:27A.J. Green going at Hauser for the Bucs.
19:29A.J. Green going at Hauser for the Bucs.
19:39A.J. Green going at Hauser for the Bucs.
19:52He tried him.
19:52On that grenade.
19:54Oh, I fried him on that one.
19:56Give it go.
19:56Pritchard bounces it inside.
19:58Garza got it back.
20:00Oh, missed the shot.
20:01Touched every inch of the iron.
20:03Now it's Shireman.
20:05That bounces over to DJ MacLean on the Southpest Bucs ball.

30:21Блокed by Gonzalez, where'd he come from?
30:24Houser streaking, Pritchard brings it up.
30:27Gary Harris defends him.
30:30Ugo, wide open.
30:35Ugo just ran through and they left him.
30:37Smart play by Ugo, just gotta knock it down.
30:40Looks like we're playing the Nets for a second.
30:42Last possession of the first overtime.
30:45Thomas, just a tough one.
30:46Speaking of the Nets, long two missed it.
30:48Pritchard the rebound.
30:50A cutting Gonzalez.
30:52Uro stepped to the hole and one.
30:56What's he sad about?
30:58He's mad that he missed the last shot?
31:01On Ugo?
31:02You see that smile.
31:04Yeah, running the floor, getting the contact,
31:06keeping it high and finishing.

31:23All right, let's take a look.
31:24Houser in the first quarter.
31:25So he misses, but sticks with it.
31:28And look at this.
31:29Fades away.
31:30Flick of the wrist.
31:31Knocks it down.
31:33There's a smile.
31:34And then, watch this one.
31:36We love these no-dip threes.
31:38They're unique in the NBA.
31:41Oh, tough shot.
31:46That's kind of amazing.
31:47Is he using the inertia of the ball coming to him on the pass to flip that energy?
31:53He could tie in his feet and his hands instantaneously.
31:59And that's what it really is.
32:00The only way to do that is to tie in.
32:02Like, when you snap your toes to jump, you can snap your wrist almost simultaneously.
32:08It is incredible.
32:09Giannis back in the game.
32:11Gonzalez converted the end one.
32:13That one rattles out for Harris.
32:15But that timing and being able to sync up your body like that.
32:19That's why Sam is such a good golfer.
32:21Yeah, golf, ping-pong, all that stuff.
32:24Yeah.
32:24Got great hand-eye coordination.
32:2818-point lead for the Celtics.
32:30See if Giannis can change that.
32:31That's ridiculous.
32:32Yeah, Prichard's got to come over just a little bit more.
32:35You can't let him see any gap.
32:37If he sees a gap, he's getting through that gap.
32:40Seven points and four rebounds in six minutes for Adetokupo after he missed 15 games in a row
32:46with that right calf strain.
32:48White around the Vucevic screen.
32:50Bounces it inside for the big man.
32:52Last touch by Giannis.
32:54Seven to shoot for the Celtics.
32:55That was a hell of a pass.
32:56All right, watch Giannis.
32:57See that gap right coming out?
32:59Like, Prichard's got to be over early.
33:01It's called building a wall or showing your health early.
33:04If Giannis sees any type of empty space, he's going to take up that space.
33:08He's so big, so strong, so athletic.
33:13It's amazing how different he looks when he first entered the league.
33:17That was a strip by Harris.
33:19Harrison White got it right back from Porter.
33:21And Prichard camps out and scores.
33:23Incredible play from Derek White.
33:26Alert on 10 for Derek White.
33:34Houser dealing with Giannis.
33:36There goes Ugo.
33:37You heard Joe screaming for Ugo to get over there and double.
33:40Got the ball out of Adetokupo's hands.
33:43Now, Porter slept alone for three.
33:45Missed the shot.
33:45But Gonzales has another rebound.
33:49His fifth.
33:51Houser.
33:59Ugo not backing down from this challenge.
34:02Uh-oh.
34:02Yep, Giannis rejected the screen and went right to the right.
34:06Yeah, if you're Ugo, that's just a rookie mistake.
34:08You can't let Giannis go away from the help.
34:14Richard got a step on J.
34:16Out to Gonzales.
34:18Three is more than two.
34:20He made up for it.
34:21As Ugo does.
34:23Seems that somehow, when he makes a mistake, make up for it with a steal, a charge, something.
34:28That time a three-point shot.
34:30Contested three by Portis as Vooch ran out to him.
34:34He's doing a bet above 45% from three this year.
34:38Portis having a good offensive year.
34:43Yeah, like you said, Scal, the Bucs' offense has not been the problem this season.
34:47It's their defense.
34:48They don't rebound.
34:49And it's their defense and their rebound.
34:52Pritchard for three.
34:54I'll tell you, our guys are going at it.
34:56Our two step-up guys, shot for shot.
34:59They must know.
35:01It's the only explanation.
35:03For those who weren't watching pregame, first of all, what were you doing?
35:07Second of all, Scal had Pritchard.
35:08I had Hauser as my step-up guy.
35:11Kevin Porter Jr. has the response from deep, but still a 16-point Celtics lead five minutes into the second
35:18quarter.
35:22White tries it.
35:24Hits it.
35:25This is shooting practice for the Celtics.
35:35Now Chang finally misses one.
35:38Bucs' pitch with his second rebound.
35:40Bucs' has three assists.
35:41Celtics as a team have 14 of them.
35:45Nice pass.
35:46Leeds.
35:47White.
35:48Pritchard found him for the assist.
35:50Something's live on that player screen.
35:52And Pritchard does a good job of putting that ball only where the offensive player can get it.
36:02Gonzalez, the steal, did exactly what his coach, Joe Mazzullo, wanted him to do.
36:07Helped on that Giannis post-up.
36:10White to the corner for Hauser.
36:12Off the jab, the drive, kick it out.
36:14Pritchard.
36:22Porter going at Pritchard.
36:27Portage drives.
36:29Jang tries.
36:32And a quick timeout by Joe Mazzullo after Ugo's sixth rebound of the game.
36:37The Cesar a plus four on the glass and a plus 22 on the scoreboard.
36:42Working him here in Milwaukee.
36:45All at TD Garden.
36:47Head to celtics.com slash ticks to secure seats to upcoming home games.
36:51We got some good ones on tap.
36:53No question about it.
36:58All right, let's talk a little bit about Ugo Gonzalez getting the start tonight and making it happen.
37:02Look at him drive the ball, being strong with it, lays it up.
37:06And then heading to offensive lab with the tip dunk.
37:09Here he is on defense getting steals.
37:11That man's knocking down three.
37:12And was in transition.
37:15What can't this guy do?
37:18And we can't say he's 19 anymore if he's 20.
37:21But he's making things happen.
37:23And he's starting to hide against the Bucs.
37:27Working on a double-double here.
37:30Spearheading the Celtics.
37:32The offensive glass already five offensive rebounds.
37:36Dominated the Sixers in that department last night leading to 30 second chance points.
37:43Late shot clock for Pritchard.
37:46Ugo almost had another one as he went soaring.
37:49Instead, it's Adetokumbo on the break.
37:52And Bucs is called for the foul.
37:59I don't think you could prepare for Giannis like during the regular season.
38:04I don't.
38:04Like, at this point, there should be three guys standing there.
38:07Especially with the Bucs kind of jogging in transition.
38:12He has to see bodies.
38:27Here's a message from Zenny.
38:30Basketball is all about vision.
38:34Seeing things on the court and setting your sights on something bigger.
38:41Clear vision is everything.
38:50Then Adetokumbo splits him again.
38:52In ten minutes, he has ten points, six rebounds.
38:57Richard White, Vujovic, Gonzalez, and Shireman.
39:00The five out there for Joe Mazzula.
39:02Five minutes to play in the first half.
39:05A 21-point lead for the Seas.
39:09White switched out of the big man, Turner.
39:12Got to go in a hurry.
39:14White sees it, shoots it.
39:16Gonzalez again on the offensive glass.
39:18White puts it up.
39:21Shireman almost had another, knocked away by Jane.
39:26A.J. Green back in there for Doc Rivers.
39:30Now Giannis spins.
39:32You got it.
39:33Rebounded by Vuj.
39:41It's a quick road trip for the Celtics.
39:43Back home tonight.
39:44A couple days they'll play the Hornets at home.
39:46And then it's the Mavericks Friday in the Cooper flag game
39:50where the entire state of Maine will be there.
39:53Ugo might have been fouled that time on the offensive rebound attempt.
39:57Jeng flips it, and there is Gonzalez.
40:02Ugo fires.
40:11The Celtics dominating the turnover battle.
40:14That is typical for them.
40:15Part of the reason they've been so good all year.
40:18Controlling the margins, getting more shots than the opponents.
40:21Man, Ugo is just everywhere right now.
40:23He doesn't look tired at all either.
40:25The ball is just binding.
40:34A steal by Porter.
40:36Ugo running him down.
40:37And Kevin Porter dunks it.
40:39And he is tired.
40:40Because if he wasn't tired, he would have drove that, closed out, got right to the rim.
40:49For this spade pick-and-roll action, Vujovic setting the initial screen.
40:56Pritchard pops.
40:57Tended to Pritchard in the lane.
40:59Free throw line jumper that's butter.
41:01Great throw work by Pritchard.
41:03Using his body to create some space.
41:05And then using his footwork to get that shot out.
41:09Giannis had it knocked away by Vuj.
41:11Let's stay here.
41:13Like, I pray to the basketball gods that Giannis doesn't ever learn a de-cell step.
41:19Because the NBA would be in trouble if he ever did.
41:26Now Ugo gets a breather.
41:28Walsh, Hauser, Garza.
41:30Back into the game.
41:32Scal, I know you love working with young basketball players and helping them to bruise their game.
41:37And please don't ever invite Giannis to the White Mamba Academy and teach him that move.
41:42Can you imagine if I caught him a Pinoy step?
41:45Giannis, this is what I do.
41:47Because I can't jump and I can't finish.
41:51Meanwhile, Giannis does that and then gets fouled by Vuj.
41:54I'm telling you, I'm telling you, if he would Pinoy step or Euro step or de-cell step, it is
42:02over for the league.
42:06Here he is right here getting downhill.
42:07Can you imagine he hit you with a de-cell right there?
42:10There's nothing you can do to stop him.
42:14Dear Buck's staff, don't teach him a de-cell step.
42:19Well, I wonder if he's almost moving too fast and he's too big to do that.
42:25That's exactly what it is.
42:26Yeah.
42:27And I bet you his injury rate will go down.
42:29It would be like if there is a program out there, like an NBA team that teaches the de-cell
42:36step, like the Boston Celtics, Giannis average 50 a game.
42:41Hey, folks, weeknights at 6 o'clock.
42:43Tune in for Arbella Early Edition with Trenny.
42:45Trenny Casey takes a deep dive into the biggest sports stories of the day.
42:48It's presented by Arbella Insurance here for New England sports fans.
42:51Here for good.
42:53I'm saying, with how fast he moves, how big he is.
42:56That's not a good play there as Porter gets a steal green for three.
43:02Wouldn't it be almost like dangerous for him with his cap issues to hit a de-cell step?
43:06No, no.
43:07It would be easier.
43:08It would be easier.
43:12I don't want to find out.
43:13No, I don't want to find out either.
43:15Like, he does a lot of, you know, square peg and round hole type of plays at the rim.
43:22Pritchard off the heel.
43:24Adetokumbo with his seventh rebound.
43:28Coming up on two minutes left in the second.
43:30Celtics have built a big lead here on the Bucs.
43:43He's going to put two on you on it.
43:48He's going to give you that shot.
43:50He's three for six on threes.
43:52Bucs are an elite three-point shooting team.
43:55Garza, an elite offensive rebounder.
43:58That falls off the rim, but he got fouled.
44:00Lee, he is relentless.
44:02Most people would have got back.
44:04They would have saw the Derek White shot and be like, man, good move, D. White.
44:08Look at this move.
44:09Garza, he just attacks everything.
44:14I love the way he plays.
44:17When we traded for Bucs, I was certain we would go with a three-headed bid.
44:22I did not think we were just going to bench one of the guys and go with two guys.
44:27Well, you see Ugo taking a seat there.
44:30He's the seventh rookie in NBA history with at least ten points, eight rebounds, and three steals in a first
44:37half.
44:38And bring his little brother to the game.
44:42Seventh rookie in NBA history with those numbers.
44:44The other guys are on Wembley twice.
44:47Scotty Barnes, Ben Simmons, Luka Doncic, Ed Davis, and Michael Ola McCandy.
44:53Oh, wow.
44:55Now Ugo Gonzalez.
44:58I don't know if any of those guys brought their brother to the game.
45:02Or even had a little brother.
45:03Maybe not.
45:13Oh, no.
45:15A steal by Porter.
45:16Hauser gets back, so does Shireman.
45:19Turner goes right at both of them.
45:21It's a block.
45:21And Baylor was in the restricted area.
45:24And Miles Turner will go to the line.
45:32I mean, we're driving and kicking a lot.
45:35Porter gets a steal at a transition.
45:37Tell you what, he didn't do any favors to Miles Turner, giving him the ball there at a full head
45:41of steam.
45:42But it all worked out for Miles Turner.
45:44Yeah, Baylor did get out of the restricted, but still a blocking foul.
45:49It puts Turner up the line.
45:55Let's check out the game leaders.
45:58Brought to you by Arbella Insurance.
46:00Here for New England, here for good, as you would expect with no Jalen Brown tonight.
46:05White and Pritchard carrying the scoring load.
46:08Ugo, the third Celtic in double figures, he's got ten points and nine rebounds.
46:13Meanwhile, Giannis and the newly acquired Usman Jang lead the way for Milwaukee.
46:19Fifteen-point Celtics lead, approaching one minute left in the second.
46:32Four to shoot for Pritchard.
46:35Garza with a cleanup.
46:38Relentless.
46:38Tommy Point for Garza.
46:40Staying ready.
46:41It's all part of the bus one boys or the stay ready group.
46:47Putting that map on the court was not a good idea for Milwaukee as Turner hits a three.
46:53Because the Garzilla loves to rampage through cities.
46:56He sees these streets and the downtown.
46:59He wants to step all over it.
47:04See if they go two for one.
47:06White sees it.
47:07Obliges, missed the shot.
47:08Garza nearly had another.
47:10Turner walled him off.
47:13Ryan Rollins.
47:14Eyes up.
47:15Shireman mid-range jumper is no good.
47:17And Sims bats it toward a camera guy.
47:20Celtics ball with the shot clock off.
47:23Stay tuned for Celtics Halftime Live with Kayla and Eddie.
47:26It's presented by DraftKings Sportsbook.
47:29All right, Scott, you want to make a call?
47:31Oh, I got my boy Pritchard.
47:33Taking Houser again.
47:34Taking Houser again.
47:35Come on, man.
47:36How is this going to happen twice, Drew?
47:41He denied him the ball.
47:42Pritchard gets it back.
47:44Three seconds left in the half.
47:47Pritchard threw it away.
47:49Houser saying it was deflected.
47:53Pritchard got to deliver that.
47:57A lot of pressure there from the box.
47:59Rollins flings it.
48:01And that's...
