With Grant Williams leading the way, the Celtics eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon, and for the fourth time in the last six seasons, Boston is headed to the Eastern Conference Finals.
BOSTON — For the fourth time in the last six seasons, the Boston Celtics are headed to the Eastern Conference finals. The hope is this time, they can take it one step further. To do that, they’ll have to do exactly what the TD Garden crowd started chanting late in the fourth quarter: «Beat the Heat.»
Grant Williams had a career-high 27 points, Jayson Tatum had 23 points and the Celtics hit a playoff franchise-record 22 3-pointers as the Celtics defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 109-81 in Game 7 at the TD Garden on Sunday afternoon. In the previous three Eastern Conference finals, Boston has come up short. But after the Celtics got through the defending champions on Sunday, there’s hope this year could mark the storied franchise’s first trip to the NBA Finals since 2010.
