When Giannis is not scoring freely ,he helps his teammates through his assists. The All- Star could not inspire his team to the win as Milwaukee went down 114-122 to Boston. The Celtics’ first half showing was very impressive. Particularly impressive was their forward Jayson Tatum seven assists and 34 points. Jayson is adept at finding the spaces in the opponents’s defense. Watch first quarter with 10 minutes to go. For the Bucks Kris Middleton was the highest scorer with 19 points. Boston were great in the free throw department which was the key to their victory, shooting 14/16 to the 7/11 for the Bucks. Lets compare the all time records of Giannis and Jayson.
