The Boston Celtics had somewhat of a wake-up call in Game 1 of this year’s Eastern Conference Semifinals, as they came out of the gates absolutely stumbling and, as a result, fell to Milwaukee by a final score of 101-89.

In Game 2, they were fully awake, coming out standing tall which, in turn, helped them get right back into this best-of-seven series.

Right from the jump, the C’s were on a mission to make up for their lackluster opening day performance, as they put up a whopping 32 points whilst shooting 57 percent from the floor and an immaculate 75 percent shooting from deep.

Leading the charge during this stretch–and, frankly, for the entirety of the contest–was Jaylen Brown, who dropped 17 of his 30 points in the first which, on its own is already stellar, but considering the fact that he scored just 12 points in Game 1 as a whole, this showing was all the more impressive.

From their highly productive offensive game that saw them knock down 46 .5 percent of their 3-pointers and 47.5  percent of their shots overall to their stout defensive efforts that held Giannis Antetokounmpo to just 40.7 percent shooting and forced him into six turnovers, the Boston Celtics managed to breeze by the Bucks by a final score of 109-86.

On the night, there were seven players who saw extended action for the shamrocks and, as a result, we saw several individuals step up in major ways. Unfortunately, some also wound up falling a bit flat with their attempts at contributions.

With this in mind, we at HH present to you 1 stud and 1 dud from the C’s bounce-back win over the Milwaukee Bucks:
