Grant Williams scored a career-high 27 points (seven 3-pointers), Jayson Tatum added 23 and the Boston Celtics set a Game 7 record with 22 3-pointers to eliminate the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led Milwaukee Bucks 109-81 on Sunday in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The second-seeded Boston Celtics will face the top-seeded Miami Heat beginning Tuesday in a rematch of the 2020 East finals.
After beating the Bucks by 28 points, the Celtics head coach Ime Udoka talked about the Game 7 victory: “Extremely proud, we showed some resiliency … numbers say 82% of teams that lose Game 5 lose the series … we bounced back and showed our resolve.”
