Simple Bucks - Celtics Actions

The Bucks and Celtics ran some simple actions that got high percentage shots. Ultimately the Bucks won because Malcolm Brogdon beat Avery Bradley off the dribble down the stretch. The Celtics' top perimeter defender couldn't defuse the Bucks' rookie PG. 


Giannis Antetokounmpo is a load and a half. He's a mismatch and then some. He was listed at 6'9" but looks bigger and he can play inside and out. He forced a bunch of shots, but the talent is unmistakable. 

The Celtics entered the ball to Horford, an accomplished passer, who can hit the guard cutting around or the two coming off the screen. If nothing is there, the Celtics like to go into dribble handoff mode. 

The simplest actions can create defensive problems.
