The Boston Celtics dominated the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series, cruising to a 112-90 win at Fiserv Forum on Sunday afternoon.
The C's jumped out to a 15-point lead in the second quarter, only to have the Bucks fight back and eventually take the lead. But the C's came out with an excellent third quarter and led by double-digits throughout the second half.
One of the highlights of Boston's victory was third-year guard Jaylen Brown throwing down a powerful dunk early in the fourth quarter despite Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo coming over to try to deny him.
The photo below of Brown staring at the Greek Freak while hanging on the rim perfectly sums up the Celtics' nearly perfect series opener.
"I didn’t want to flex because I got a tech (earlier in regular season)," Brown told reporters when asked about this dunk. "In the end, I’m just playing basketball, being aggressive, get back on defense, get a stop. That’s about it."
Here's Browns dunk in video form:
Brown finished with 19 points on 8-for-14 shooting. He was one of three Celtics starters, along with Kyrie Irving (26 points) and Al Horford (20), to score 19 or more points.
