Tatum and Celtics outduel Giannis and Bucks to force Game 7
When your backs are against the wall, you're going to show who you are, whether that's positive or negative. The Celtics bounced back from a horrible ending in Game 5 tonight to even up the Eastern Conference semifinals at 3 games apiece. Jayson Tatum's 46 points bested Giannis Antetokounmpo's 44, but just as importantly Jaylen Brown and Marucs Smart each scored over 20 to secure the team win. The Final was Boston 108, Milwaukee 95.
