Watch: Boston Celtics 113 - Milwaukee Bucks 107 full game highlights

It was an excellent one, exactly what you'd want from the Boston Celtics in terms of elite defense with balanced offense, with a nail- biting finish to regulation and a close score until the very end of overtime.

Boston struck early in the series, making the most of home court advantage in what is sure to be a close first-round matchup. 

The Celtics next play the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time at home in the TD Garden.
