After nearly two weeks on the sidelines, Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo started a little slow in the first half, but he really heated up after the intermission, scoring 29 of his 36 points as Milwaukee held off a stubborn Celtics team 117-113.
Boston led by as many as 19 points in the game and had a 13-point lead with five minutes left.
Antetokounmpo also had a dozen rebounds and five assists.
While running their winning streak to three games in a row, the Bucks were able to welcome back teammates Bobby Portis and Donte DiVincenzo.
Portis had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds while DiVincenzo scored three points in about five minutes of action.
The next game for Milwaukee is Tuesday at Orlando.
