The NBA this week finally announced the game dates for the Boston Celtics' second-round NBA playoff series with the Milwaukee Bucks, with Game 1 set for Sunday at 1 p.m. in Milwaukee.
The announced times for Games 2 and 4 on Friday.
That's a relief for Celtics coach Brad Stevens, whose No. 4 seed C's have been off since dispatching the No. 5 Indiana Pacers last Sunday but hadn't yet known their schedule.
The C's should face a much tougher challenge in the No. 1 seed Bucks, who decisively swept the Detroit Pistons in Round 1 and posted the best record in the NBA this season behind MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Here's the full schedule for Celtics vs. Bucks, with tip times for Games 1, 2 and 4 (all times Eastern):
Game 1: Sunday, 1 p.m. @ Milwaukee,
Game 2: Tuesday, 8 p.m. @ Milwaukee
Game 3: Friday, May 3, TBD, @ Boston
Game 4: Monday, May 6, 7 p.m., @ Boston
Game 5:* Wednesday, May 8, TBD @ Milwaukee
Game 6:* Friday, May 10, TBD @ Boston
Game 7*: Monday, May 13, TBD @ Milwaukee
