Neemias Queta helps the Celtics win again

The Celtics, led by Portuguese international Neemias Queta, suffered again, but they responded again in the decisive moments, to put themselves tonight (113-107) against the Bucks, in Milwaukee. The Portuguese giant (2.13 m and 25 years old), who finished with 20.35 minutes of practice, was not a starter, but he contributed (8 p, 7 r, 1 rb) to the success of the defending champions, who started very bad in the game, suffering a partial score of 16 to 2. The Bucks, with Giannis Antetokounmpo unstable (43 p, 13 r, 5 a, 2 dl), caused damage, until he sang the alarms in the Boston group, with Neemias entering (with 4 minutes left in the first period) and immediately getting two rebounds, but still not avoiding the hosts’ lead (40-30) before the 2nd period.

The Boston team, which included the return of Jaylen Brown from injury, put the brakes on the opponent at halftime (69-58 for the Bucks), and then left in the 3rd period (29-15) , even with Jayson Tatum (31 p, 12 r, 6 a) weakened by a twisted leg.

With the beginning of the last quarter tied (84 to 84), the balance continued, with Neemias getting 4 more points, with a dunk. The Celtics got a surge in the last 2 minutes and closed out the game.
