Behind 39 points (17 in the 4th quarter), 16 rebounds and 4 assists from Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks defeated the Celtics by a final score of 113-101 to take a 3-1 lead in this best-of-seven series. With his performance, Antetokounmpo joined Stephen Curry (38 points, 15 rebounds on 4/13/2019 vs LAC) as the only players with at least 35 points, 15 rebounds in a single NBA Playoffs game this season, while also becoming the second player in Bucks history to put up at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in back-to-back playoff games. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did so several times for Milwaukee, with a high of five straight games in 1974. Kyrie Irving led the Celtics with 23 points, alongside 6 rebounds and 10 assists in the losing effort. Additionally, whichever team won the 3rd quarter in every game in this series has also gone on to win the game.
