Boston, Baynes in box seat

ARON Baynes’s Boston Celtics are two wins from eliminating the Milwaukee Bucks from the NBA playoffs after dominating game two of their first- round series.

The Celtics won 120-106 in Boston yesterday to take a 2-0 lead.

Milwaukee will host games three and four, and Celtics coach Brad Stevens warned his players not to relax.

“If we don’t play with an edge we will get beat by 30, so we better play with an edge, play competitive and be tough,” Stevens said.

“You don’t have a chance if you don’t do that.”

Baynes did play with an edge, with four of his six rebounds on the offensive end.

He also had six points and two blocks.

Celtics guard Jaylen Brown led the way with 30 points and five other Boston players scored in double figures.

Bucks All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists but had little help, particularly from guards Eric Bledsoe and Tony Snell who combined for only 14 points.

It could open the way for more court time for Milwaukee’s Australian Matthew Dellavedova, who, after missing 44 games with knee and ankle injuries, is being eased back.

The guard would inject the aggression and play-off experience interim coach Joe Prunty is seeking.

“All of our guys have to be ready to go out and defend and play at a higher level than what we did tonight,” Prunty said.

The Bucks’ other Australian, Thon Maker, entered the game in the final minute and had a lay-up blocked and missed a three-point shot.

Game three is on Saturday.
