The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a tough 108-81 loss to the Boston Celtics, even with Giannis Ante Toe, co-O, back after missing, over a month with a calf injury. Boston dominated from the start, leading by 10 after the first quarter and never looking back. Giannis played 25 minutes, scoring 19 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, but shot poorly and ended minus 16 on the court. Meanwhile, the Celtics pulled off the win without stars, Jason Tatum and Jalen Browne. Rookie Guard Hugo Gonzalez, the 28th overall pick last June, exploded for a career night with 18 points, 16 rebounds, 3, steals, and 2 blocks. He usually averages just 15 minutes and 3 rebounds a game, but stepped up big in his spot start. Fans and players reacted with surprise at Boston's depth shining through. Other starters like Sam Hauser and second-year Baylor Shireman scored in double figures

1:04while Derek White dished 9 assists. Off the bench, Payton Pritchard drained 5-3 pointers for 25 points, showing the Celtics bench strength. On the Bucks side, Troubles piled up beyond Giannis. Coach Doc Rivers benched Ryan Rollins. Miles Turner managed just one field goal in 19 minutes. AJ. Green missed all three shots, and Kevin Porter Jr. took only 6 attempts for 8 points. Kyle Kuzma sat out entirely as a coach's decision. The Bucks have now scored just 89 points over their last 5 quarters, putting their play in hopes in jeopardy. With time running short, they need more than one star to turn things around.
