The Celtics-Bucks series wasn't basketball. It was boxing, in high tops, and Boston found an unexpected spark on offense to win the final round, writes SIChrisMannix

And then … the floodgates opened. The Celtics scored 31 points in the third quarter. Boston has lived and died by the three-point shot all season. The Celtics went 18-50 in a Game 1 loss. They were 17-43 in a. On Sunday, with Milwaukee committed to keeping Brook Lopez in the paint, they connected on 22 of 55, scoring 54 more points on threes alone than Milwaukee, which made just four of 33—the second worst three-point shooting percentage in a playoff game ever.
Williams had never attempted more than nine three-pointers in a game before Game 7. On Sunday, he tossed up 18. Part of the Bucks’ defensive strategy has been to leave Boston’s big men open on the perimeter. Horford made Milwaukee pay for it in Game 5. In Game 7, it was Williams’s turn. He made his first three 20 seconds in. Then there was an offensive foul. And a turnover. And a 23-footer that didn’t have a shot. Williams began to hesitate. He passed up an open three. And then another.
