Celtics vs. Bucks score: Boston bounces back against Milwaukee, evens series with dominant Game 2 win

The Boston Celtics got embarrassed on their home court in Game 1. They made sure that didn't happen again in Game 2. Jaylen Brown puts up a game-high 30 points as the Celtics bounced back with a dominant 109-86 win over the Bucks Tuesday night to even the second-round series at one game apiece. 

Boston was hot from the start, outscoring Milwaukee 65-40 in the first half. Boston's scoring came largely from behind the arc as the Celtics made 20 of their 43 3-point attempts in the victory. The Celtics' defense made life difficult for the defending champions, who were held to under 90 points.

The Bucks went into Boston on Sunday and handed the Celtics a stunning 101-89 defeat in their series opener. In the process, the defending champions stole home court away from the East's No. 2 seed. Boston rebounded with a win at TD Garden, and they did so without the services of Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, who sat out with a right thigh contusion. Game 3 is Saturday in Milwaukee.
