Boston Celtics go down in history for a bizarre reason; understand

On the night of this past Tuesday, the 9th, the Boston Celtics lost to Milwaukee Bucks by 104 to 91. But something unprecedented happened: the franchise Massachusetts didn't shoot any free throws. For the first time in the entire history of NBA, a team went the entire game without going to the line. However, the team itself Giannis Antetokounmpo It is Damian Lillard he almost didn't hit the shot, having only two, with the Greek Freak making one and missing another.

It is worth mentioning that the two franchises only combined for 74 points in the paint, meaning the Bucks and Celtics bet heavily on three-pointers. While Boston tried an incredible 52, Milwaukee tried 36. But the difference was due to the use. The Massachusetts team converted 32.7%, while the Wisconsin, 47.2%. In other words, as no one explored the bottle much, the main explanation arises as to why there were only two free throws in the entire match.

Even though the Celtics played an extremely subpar game, the merits went to the Bucks' performance on both sides of the court. Coming off a bad series, the Wisconsin franchise has lost four in a row and has only one victory in seven clashes. Still, he won only 16 of the 33 matches under the command of Doc Rivers.

“It was the first time that nothing went right since I don't know when, you know? But for me, it's a great opportunity to play against that, find different ways to create and find different ways on both sides of the court. So, I think it was a good situation for us, as it hadn’t happened for a while”acknowledged the Celtics coach, Joe Mazzulla.
