He made four three-pointers in 17 minutes.
Somehow, Boston managed to shoot well from the arc. His team took 55 three-pointers throughout the game, making 22 of them. Williams was 7 of 18 from long range. The Celtics’ hot shot from downtown was key to the difference in the game as Milwaukee couldn’t follow.

Milwaukee was an abysmal 4 of 33 three-pointers. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis were the only ones to shoot from there.
Antetokounmpo scored a double-double in the loss. He scored 25 points and had 20 rebounds to go along with nine assists. Jrue Holiday had 21 points, eight assists and five rebounds.
The Bucks won the NBA title last season against the Phoenix Suns, but their defense has come to an end.
