Milwaukee Bucks: Grades from 113-107 Game 1 loss to Boston Celtics

A-. They have obvious weaknesses, they can have less than stellar spells in the game, but the Celtics just seem built to find a way to overcome adversity. <p>That was evident when they came back from Milwaukee’s second quarter run. A lesser team would have been completely knocked off balance for overtime following Khris Middleton’s triple too. But Brad Stevens’ Celtics always find a way to just hang around, to compete, and as Stevens noted post-game, to “reset”.</p> <p>That may be what ultimately wins them this series, but having five guys effectively step up to contribute at the 20-point mark doesn’t hurt either. Injuries or not, Boston proved that much of what they do still stands. Their system is formidable, their style of play is repeatable and they’re going to make this series a grind for the Bucks.</p>. Eastern Conference. Second seed. BOSTON CELTICS
