Ever since the season began between the Celtics and Bucks, it was interesting to watch.

On the other hand, the Milwaukee Bucks won game 2 with 135-102 and now defeated the opponent with 104-91.
The Bucks were worried as they entered the fourth quarter, the reason behind this was not the game score but their two-time MVP player, Giannis Antetokounmpo. He strained his left calf in the third quarter of the Game, which led to serious injury.
Especially absent were Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis from the team Celtics, who had already clinched the top overall playoff spot as well as the finest regular-season record in the NBA. After he strained his right hamstring last month and missed five games, the Celtics took over Porzingis’ role. Meanwhile, Horford sat out with a sprained left big toe.
The game has seen a record low of free throws, NBA teams never got to shoot any free throws in one game but the Celtics are the only team in this history. Before, there had been 11 free throw attempts from both teams combined which was the fewest ever recorded.
