Boston Celtics: On the road it’s hard to win.
The Celtics had slight drawbacks against the Bucks, the series at one point became a difficult challenge, but thanks to the good strategy of the Celtics, everything turned out in favor of the team. The series was 7 games, and they only won the games at home, the Celtics were lucky that the last game was at home.
