Defending champions sink Boston with Christmas Day comeback

The Milwaukee Bucks managed to fight back and overtake the Boston Celtics for an impressive 117-113 win in NBA on Christmas Day.

The Celtics looked like they were in control of this game, even up until the final five minutes, but reigning Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the rest of the Bucks played gritty defence and started knocking down big shots on the other end to get a tight win.

Antetkounmpo had 36 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in the win, while Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday added 17 points apiece for the Bucks.

For the Celtics, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the way for 25 points each, with Marcus Smart adding on 19 points of his own.

The win improves the Bucks to 22-13, while the Celtics drop to 16-17 on the season.
