Milwaukee Bucks beat Boston Celtics in overtime, scores, results, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday,

The Celtics and the Bucks have met three times in the playoffs in the last five seasons, and the brilliant rivalry between the Eastern Conference’s top teams delivered another sensational battle on Wednesday as an understrength Boston took Milwaukee to overtime before finally falling short 131-125.

The Celtics (now 41-17) entered the blockbuster game on a four-game win streak, but the Bucks scraped home in an epic encounter to extend their streak to 11-straight wins and take their record to 40-17, one game behind number-one Boston.

Without a host of stars including Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Al Horford, the Celtics were never expected to be able to contend with Giannis Antetokounmpo and co.

But their incredible depth was on full display as they led by as many as 14 points before running out of legs in overtime as Jrue Holiday exploded on a career night.
