Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks: 3 things to watch for in Game 2

Who bounces back strong – Jayson Tatum or Giannis Antetokounmpo

In Game 1, Jayson Tatum shot just 6-18 from the field. Giannis Anetokounmpo didn’t fare much better, shooting only 9-25 from the field. The winner of Game 2 between the Bucks and Celtics could very well come down to which superstar is able to solve the defense first.

But that could be easier said than done. The Celtics finished with the No. 1 ranked defensive rating during the regular season and the Bucks have had the best defensive rating during the postseason thus far.

Tatum and Giannis are both elite offensive players. It’s only a matter of time until they both figure things out a bit. However, the winner of Game 2 could hinge on this very variable.
