If you missed it, the Celtics beat the Bucks 109-102 Wednesday, but it got tense. Boston led 62-41 at halftime, then watched Milwaukee take a 92-91 lead in the fourth quarter. Paul George scored 25 points and Derrick White had 24.

Jayson Tatum sat out for rest, and it was the earliest he has missed a game for rest in his career. Payton Pritchard did not return after a right eye abrasion late in the third quarter, and no update was given on whether he'll miss time. Boston now plays 10 of its next 13 games away from TD Garden.

  • Records before tipoff: Celtics 5-2, Bucks 1-6
  • Next up: a four-game road trip
  • Pritchard: 10 points in 18 minutes before leaving
