The Milwaukee Bucks are the defending NBA champions for a reason.
The Boston Celtics discovered that very quickly Sunday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at TD Garden, shooting just 33% from the floor against a stout Milwaukee defense en route to a 101-89 loss.
Boston limited Giannis Antetokounmpo to 24 points on 36% shooting, but the Bucks star still left a huge imprint on the game, racking up 13 rebounds and 12 assists to become the first player in Bucks franchise history with multiple playoff triple-doubles.

The Celtics will look to bounce back Tuesday night in Game 2 at TD Garden. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will need to step up after subpar offensive performances in Game 1 -- 33 combined points on 32.3% shooting -- and the C's will hope Marcus Smart can suit up after suffering a right quad contusion Sunday that has him listed as questionable for Game 2.
