In the most exciting game of the NBA playoff so far the Boston Celtics managed to edge the Bucks 113-107 to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

With the game tied at 96, Terry Rozier hit a step-back three with 0.5 seconds left but the Bucks weren’t done yet. Kris Middelton’s hit an impossible three to send the game to OT.

In overtime, the Celtics hit timely shots and came out on top.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was efficient and on point throughout the game finishing with a career-high 35 points on 11-21 shots and 13-16 free-throws adding 13 boards and 7 assists.

Al Horford was brilliant on both ends of the floor. The versatile veteran ended up with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Bucks will try to even the series on Tuesday before they go back to Milwaukee.
