Jayson Tatum Saves the Boston Celtics' Season With 46 Points (The New York Times)

Was it the 46 points? The crushing 3-pointers? The clutch free throws? Tatum, the Boston forward, was feeling it against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.

The Bucks were threatening in the fourth quarter when Antetokounmpo sank a 3-pointer. Tatum proceeded to score the Celtics’ next 10 points, a flurry capped by a deep 3-pointer over the top of the Bucks’ Pat Connaughton. It was a series that deserved a seventh game, and the Celtics delivered. And consider the contributions of Derrick White, a former Division II player and trade deadline acquisition who was all over the place in the final three minutes of the first half. He drew a charging foul on Antetokounmpo. And then he made two free throws, lifting the Celtics to a 10-point lead at halftime. The stage belonged to Tatum. The good news, Udoka said, was that the Celtics had played well in Game 5 — until they stopped playing well. He recalled going straight to the team’s practice facility after the game, and then tossing and turning through two sleepless nights ahead of Game 6. There was no doubt about that after Tatum finished with 46 points and 9 rebounds to help even the series at three games apiece. There were questions about whether Jayson Tatum could coexist with Jaylen Brown — was it time for the team to consider trading Brown? — along with inevitable critiques of Ime Udoka in his first season as coach. “I think we showed a lot of toughness and growth.” Could they somehow find the resolve to extend their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Bucks?

Ten people are in custody, nine guns were recovered and all victims are expected to survive, Milwaukee police said early Saturday.

Bucks spokesman Barry Baum directed questions to the Milwaukee Police Department. It's unclear if the two shootings are related. MILWAUKEE — Nearly two dozen people were injured in two shootings late Friday in Milwaukee's downtown bar district after the Milwaukee Bucks playoff game, which drew thousands of people to the Deer District.

Tipico has no influence over nor are any such revenues in any way dependent on or linked to the newsrooms or news coverage. With 11 straight points over the next few possessions, he essentially singlehandedly gave the Celtics breathing room by himself. Tatum simply could not miss when Milwaukee cut it to four with just over eight minutes to go. When would he finally put the Celtics on his back and become the unstoppable star everyone knows he’s capable of being? Gannett may earn revenue from Tipico for audience referrals to betting services. The way superstars always do.

“We don’t want to be the team or feel like we should be the team that is going home. Not only ignoring the past, but playing with an edge that furnished a fast start in Milwaukee and ultimately allowed them to return home to the Garden. The best atmosphere in the NBA,” Celtics forward Jayson Tatum said of returning to TD Garden. “Game 7s are the biggest and best games. “I’m looking forward to it. “I expect it to be loud, I expect it to be fun, and I expect to be part of a great game,” Brown said. It’s going to be fun.”

Tatum, however, has more dependable offensive help in Brown and Smart and I would bet on a big Al Horford game, too. James Harden took two shots in the second half of Philly's season-ending loss on Thursday. He entered Game 6 shooting just 40 percent for the series, but he wasn't going to go out quietly. I was really late to the Giannis bandwagon. Think about the history of the Boston Celtics, and Tatum is now just the second player in franchise history, joining Sam Jones, to post multiple 45-point playoff games. For that reason, I want to give the Bucks a slight edge in Game 7, Boston's home-court advantage notwithstanding. Tatum's Celtics got the win, sending this series to a Game 7 on Sunday.

Jayson Tatum was the player on the court Friday as his 46 points led the Celtics to a Game 6 win over the Bucks.

“I expect it to be fun. “I expect it to be loud,” Brown said. “It’s going to be loud. This is supposed to be fun. It’s going to be fun. And what it boils down to is just going out there and having fun.”

'Good old Game 7': How the Bucks look to regroup for their winner ... (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

On one hand, the fact the Milwaukee Bucks had to do a quick pack job to head back to Boston for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday ...

“Hey, at the end of the day as I said, hopefully we can play good basketball and put ourselves in a position to win,” Antetokounmpo said. And no, the Bucks aren’t going to be rattled in heading to Massachusetts for the third time. “That gives us confidence knowing that we’ve been here before and we’ve experienced it, we know what it’s like, so it gives us a little bit of whatever you want to say going into this game.” There’s no reason to try and do more than they’ve done. Hopefully we can play good basketball.” Wesley Matthews, George Hill and Holiday must continue to harass Tatum and Brown. That’s something we kind of have to go back, evaluate, but at the end of the day, man, he’s a great player, a great offensive player, and it’s a close-out game for his team and he handled that.” The Bucks made just 7 threes, a 30-point disparity that is nearly impossible to overcome. At the end of the day I still think the best shot in basketball is the layup, but you’ve got to find ways to move the basketball and get some open threes.” “It’s the new-wave NBA right? But the Bucks already have done it for three wins in this series and twice in Boston. Keeping it steady isn’t a mantra for the Bucks, but they have lived by it to great success to date. “But he had it going today.

MILWAUKEE — Only loud claps could be heard in a back hallway of Fiserv Forum. A handful of members from the Celtics travel party lined the wall, ...

When he keeps coming, as he will, Brown said the Celtics need to do the same. The Celtics only trailed after that bucket for a total of 12.7 seconds. As much as he tried, he said the end of Game 5 “ate me alive.” He felt like he let his team down. He didn’t think about how a defeat like that could happen again, but rather what his team needed to do to ensure it wouldn’t. He believed the Celtics needed to be the tougher team, like the Bucks were down the stretch of Game 5. He told the Celtics that hostile environments build the character of a team. I think we showed a lot of toughness and growth coming out here and getting a win on the road and just giving ourselves a chance.” In the back of his head, he said, the Game 5 collapse entered his thoughts. And when the Bucks came back in the fourth — when all of Milwaukee wanted the Celtics to crumble, just like they had two nights earlier — Boston found some more resolve. When the Bucks closed the gap in the second quarter, Derrick White finished the half with a string of key plays to push the margin back to nine points. And that was a sign of a team that’s maturing, and a sign that we’ve been here before, and it’s time to go handle business. A handful of members from the Celtics travel party lined the wall, waiting for a shirtless Jayson Tatum to walk into the locker room. In a fight for their season, the Celtics were road warriors, just like Ime Udoka demanded from them back in training camp.

'That's what he gets paid to do': Celtics' Jayson Tatum turns in career ... (USA TODAY)

In a game he's been building to for years, Jayson Tatum turned in a transcendent performance with Boston on the edge of elimination on the road.

"And when it boils down, it’s just go out there and have fun." The Celtics need another great game from Tatum if they want to advance. But the Celtics can’t afford a bad game from him. Friday was his 60th playoff game, and in his first conference finals against LeBron James and Cleveland in 2018, Tatum was among the top players on the court. He played in his first conference finals at 19 and his second at 21. But it just wasn’t the how and where. It hasn’t been easy to get to this point, even though it’s just his fifth NBA season. After last season’s play-in game victory against Washington, then-Wizards coach Scott Brooks said, "He’s a great player. That’s the mindset that we all have." First-year Celtics coach Ime Udoka has helped Tatum improve. That’s the mindset I have. Tatum made 17 of his 32 shots, including 7-of-15 on 3-pointers.

Bucks vs Celtics Game 7 Prediction and NBA Odds ... (CW360)

The stage is set for the final clash between the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks at the TD Garden Arena this Sunday. It has been a riveting contest so ...

It will be a good contest between Tatum and Antetounmpo. The player having a better night can lead his side to a win. The Celtics will be having the home advantage on their side for the mega finals. The current series is tied at 3-3 after the Boston Celtics won the last matchup with a score of 108-95 last Friday. Both these teams met 44 times in the NBA playoffs. The Celtics faced the risk of elimination in the last game but they played very well under pressure. In the regular season, the Celtics finished at the second position in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics have not let pressure define their performance as they bounced back strongly after trailing thrice in the second round.

Celtics win legendary duel against Giannis' Bucks (AS English)

Giannis Antetokounmpo hit 44 points, and wasn't even the top-scorer as his Milwaukee Bucks lost to Jayson Tatum's Boston Celtics.

It was definitely a signature game for the Celtics, and for Jayson. We wanted to come into the game with the right mindset - Smart had a big-time performance, played great for us and we found out a way to win the game down the stretch. It was a game that the Celtics controlled from the second quarter, restricting the Bucks to 17 points in the frame to grab a 10-point half-time lead, and although the home side made runs, Boston had all the answers. After six tremendous battles, four wins on the road and no team having won two games in a row, the Celtics and Bucks will settle everything in the seventh.

Bucks, Celtics move on to an emotional Game 7 (CBS sports.com)

While the city of Milwaukee works through the aftermath of separate downtown shootings following Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the ...

Portis and Brook Lopez have contributed 56 rebounds to the Bucks' wins, but just 40 to the defeats. The Bucks have shot 32.3 percent on 3-pointers in their wins, but just 25.7 percent in their losses. Horford played the role of the difference-maker in that one, hitting 13 of 17 shots on a 26-point night. So I think just moving the ball a little bit more, moving bodies, getting defensive stops, and then pushing in transition, that's usually how we get a bulk of our 3s." The Celtics will be on their home court for the series finale, but the visiting Bucks will not be deterred. Afterward, chaos unfolded in the streets near the arena in the downtown bar district.
