    The Milwaukee Bucks have won 11 games in a row after defeating a short-handed Boston Celtics team 131-125 in overtime. Boston, playing without most of their starters, took advantage of too many early turnovers by the Bucks to put Milwaukee behind for most of the game. However, All-Stars Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo ensured that the Bucks came away with the victory.

    Jrue Holiday Comes in Clutch for the Milwaukee Bucks

    On the St. Valentine’s Day holiday, Jrue Holiday played one of the best games of his season thus far. With the Bucks clawing to gain some kind of momentum despite trailing with seconds remaining in the third quarter, Holiday drilled a three-quarters of the court desperation three at the buzzer to keep the Bucks within five.

    Late in the game, with the Bucks clinging to a small lead, he nailed a clutch three pointer with seconds remaining to ice the game for Milwaukee. Holiday finished with 40 points, his second 40-point game of the season.

    Giannis Antetokounmpo Was Great Despite Low Efficiency

    Efficiency is a hot keyword when discussing how great players are in the NBA these days. Typically, Giannis Antetokounmpo is among the most efficient players in the league, scoring 30+ points in 30 or less minutes and shooting over 50% from the filed.

    Against the Celtics, however, Giannis shot below 50% from the field (11-25) and struggled from the free throw line (11-19). He also committed a game-high eight turnovers. Despite these setbacks, the Eastern Conference’s All-Star captain finished with 36 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. Not bad for what some (Skip Bayless) are calling an off-night.

    There were/are some concerns with Giannis’ knee now after the game. The two-time MVP went down late in the game and was favoring the knee that has bothered him since he hyperextended it in the 2021 Playoffs. Giannis finished the game, but he also played 46 minutes. With the All-Star break coming up this weekend, it may not be surprising if he gets the Bucks’ next game (Thursday in Chicago) off.
