Boston dominated Milwaukee 108–81 on March 2 at Fiserv Forum, holding the Bucks to a season-low offensive output in a defensive masterclass. Payton Pritchard led the Celtics with 25 points, while Hauser González added 18 as Boston's balanced attack overwhelmed a struggling Milwaukee squad. The Celtics shot 43.2% overall and connected on 20 three-pointers, while the Bucks managed just 36.5% from the field with 13 threes. Boston's defense was suffocating—they held Milwaukee to just 81 points, well below the 216.5 Vegas total, and posted a 90.6 defensive rating compared to the Bucks' 120.1. The visitors controlled the tempo from the opening quarter, outscoring Milwaukee 30–20 in the first and never relinquishing control, with the Bucks' fourth-quarter output dropping to just 16 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 19 for Milwaukee while Oladipo Dieng chipped in 13, but neither could spark a comeback. Boston's 31 assists on 54 rebounds showcased their superior execution and ball movement. This decisive victory strengthens Boston's playoff positioning while exposing Milwaukee's defensive vulnerabilities heading into the stretch run.
