NBA: Milwaukee Bucks shoot sixers out of the hall – Kemba Walker turns on the Celtics victory

The Milwaukee Bucks set off a three-way fireworks display against the Philadelphia 76ers in the top game of the Eastern Conference – but make it unnecessarily exciting in the end (here are the highlights in the video). Kemba Walker turns it up in the Boston Celtics win against the Phoenix Suns, and Zion Williamson and the Pelicans make short work of the Magic.

Jayson Tatum weakens again, but Boston wins against Phoenix. The Pelicans have no problems whatsoever in Orlando and the Bulls are showing a strong reaction.

Boston Celtics (32-27) – Phoenix Suns (42-17) 99:86 (BOXSCORE)

• After going bust on Monday with the Bulls, Boston had two days to recharge. This was particularly noticeable with Kemba Walker, who was absent due to illness, but now set his season best with 32 points and led the Celts to victory against the Suns despite the again weak Jayson Tatum.
• At the Suns hardly anything came together from downtown, Phoenix only hit 6 of its 35 attempts from a distance (17.1 percent). Mikal Bridges, who only hit 1/9 threesome (15 points), was emblematic of the throwing problems, but Devin Booker also had a used evening. With only 15 points (6/13 FG) he fouled early – four of his six offenses were offensive fouls.
• Boston mercilessly exploited the offensive weaknesses of the guests in the second quarter to break away a little for the first time shortly before half-time. In the third round, the lead grew to up to 21 points. Although Chris Paul defended himself with 22 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, when Phoenix wanted to make it exciting, Tatum sank his first three of the evening (1/8). All of a sudden, Boston’s lead was again 14 points with two and a half minutes to go, which was too much for the Suns.
• Tatum put on a double-double (15 and 11 rebounds, plus 6 assists), but sank only 3/17 of his field throw attempts. Kemba, on the other hand, made 11/17 out of the field and 5 threesomes positive attention, Marcus Smart contributed 11 points and partly good defense – only with the 23 turnover did Boston shoot himself in the leg far too often. In the end, however, was the seventh win out of eight games.
• Celtics coach Brad Stevens didn’t want to talk about the sport after the game. Instead, he expressed his condolences to the Terrence Clarke family, as did many other Celtics and NBA players. The 19-year-old Guard from the University of Kentucky was killed in a car accident on Thursday. Clarke was from Boston and was a frequent guest at Celtics games. In the upcoming draft, he was traded as a potential second-round pick.
