Celtics fall to 0-2 day after losing Hayward

BOSTON — Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 16 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter, and Milwaukee opened its season with a 108-100 victory over Boston on Wednesday night to spoil the homecoming of a Celtics team coming off a late and emotional season opener.

One night after a gruesome broken ankle just six minutes into the season cost Boston’s Gordon Hayward — perhaps for the entire season — the Celtics fell to 0-2 by giving up an 11-1 run that left Milwaukee with a 97-90 lead and under three minutes to play.
