Video: Boston Celtics 124, Milwaukee Bucks 109 highlights and box score
The Boston Celtics won their 4th game in a row on Friday night over the Milwaukee Bucks by a 124-109 margin. Currently tied with the Hawks for the 3rd seed in the East, the C's have a chance to take sole possession when they travel to Atlanta Saturday night.
Tyler Zeller was on fire, matching his career high of 26 points and 4 blocks, and snapping Isaiah Thomas' streak as Boston's leading scorer in the process.
4 other Celtics scored in double figures: Isaiah Thomas (20 points), Avery Bradley (16 points), Kelly Olynyk (16 points, 7 rebounds), and Jared Sullinger (15 points).
While Marcus Smart and Evan Turner only tallied 4 points each, they both contributed 9 assists, including the below dimes from Smart (which resulted in a highlight reel dunk for Olynyk, and a buzzer-beating full court pass to Sullinger to score with 2 seconds left in the half).
