The Boston Celtics dominated the Milwaukee Bucks 133–101 on April 3 at Fiserv Forum, establishing control early and never relinquishing it. Jayson Brown led Boston with 26 points while Jayson Tatum added 23, as the Celtics shot 56.2 percent from the field and made 17 three-pointers to overwhelm Milwaukee's defense. Boston's offensive rating of 139.5 paired with a defensive rating of 107.8 underscored their two-way dominance; the Bucks managed just 42.2 percent shooting and committed 13 turnovers against Boston's suffocating pressure. The decisive margin came early, with Boston's explosive first quarter (43 points) setting the tone, while Milwaukee never found rhythm, scoring just 21 in the third quarter. Boston's rebounding advantage (48 to 30) and assist edge (33 to 24) reflected a team executing at a high level, finishing well below the 217.5 Vegas total despite the 32-point margin. This performance signals Boston's playoff readiness as the Celtics continue their push through the postseason.
