Jayson Tatum powered the Boston Celtics to a 113-107 comeback win over the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 23 of his 31 points in the second half to lead a Boston rally. 

Tatum also tallied 12 rebounds and six assists, helping the defending NBA champions improve to 9-2 for the season.


Milwaukee started strong, building a 17-point lead in the first half, but the Celtics came out firing in the third quarter with a decisive 29-15 run that flipped the game in their favor.

Four other Celtics scored in double figures, with Payton Pritchard contributing 18 points off the bench.


Giannis Antetokounmpo did everything he could to keep the Bucks in the game, scoring a season-high 43 points along with 13 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks.

Despite his standout performance, Milwaukee dropped to 2-8, the worst record in the Eastern Conference and extending their slump to start the season.
