Hugo González eclipses Giannis Antetokounmpo's return

Hugo González recorded the best numbers of his career with 18 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Boston Celtics to a 108-81 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, spoiling Giannis Antetokounmpo's return from his right calf injury. Payton Pritchard scored 25 points, being the top scorer.

The Spaniard, usually a bench player rarely getting more than 15 minutes, took full advantage of his opportunity as a starter. Dominant on both ends, aggressive on the boards, and decisive in key moments, González stole the spotlight on a night marked by the return of Antetokounmpo. His impact was such that he outshone the Greek star. He played 35 minutes, scoring 18 points (7 of 15 field goals and 3 of 8 from three-point range), grabbing 16 rebounds (5 offensive), stealing 3 balls, and blocking 2 shots. With him on the court, the Celtics had a +27 advantage.

The Celtics are intimidating

Derrick White also contributed 18 points for the Celtics, who have won three consecutive games and seven of the last eight. White and Pritchard each dished out nine assists. With the confirmed return of Jayson Tatum later this week, the Celtics are quite frightening. They are second in the East with 41 wins and 20 losses, currently on an 8-2 streak. Impressive...

Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in 25 minutes, in his first game since injuring his calf on January 23. Milwaukee had an 8-7 record during his absence. Overall this season, the Bucks have a record of 15-16 with Antetokounmpo on the court and 11-18 without him. Let's see what happens in the summer.
