Bucks Ready To Meet Boston In 2nd Round, Looking For Payback

The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics meet in the second round of the N-B-A playoffs, with that schedule not set yet.  The Bucks will be looking for payback because it was the Celtics who ended their season last year.  Both teams benefited from playing first-round opponents missing some court time from significant players — Blake Griffin for Detroit and Victor Oladipo for Indiana.  Bench strength could be a factor, with Gordon Heyward providing Boston points as a sixth man and Nikola Mirotic joining Ersan Ilyasova to give Milwaukee quality minutes.
