Bucks even series with Celts

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 27 points, including tipping in the go-ahead basket with five seconds left, and the Bucks beat the Celtics 104-102 on Sunday to tie their first-round playoff series at two games apiece. Boston’s Marcus Morris missed a 14-footer at the buzzer with Khris Middleton’s hand in his face to seal a nail-biting win for the Bucks. Seconds earlier, the 6foot-11 Antetokounmpo jumped and reached up with his left arm around Boston’s Jayson Tatum to put back Malcolm Brogdon’s missed layup for the game-winner. “One of the most im- portant things that we can carry from this game moving forward is that we stayed disciplined and we trusted one another,” Antetokounmpo said.

Game 5 is Tuesday night in Boston.

Spurs 103, Warriors 90

In San Antonio, Manu Ginobili scored 10 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter of what could have been his final home game with the Spurs, and San Antonio beat the Warriors 103-90 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep as coach Gregg Pop- ovich remained out following the death of his wife.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 22 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Spurs, but they were willed to the finish by the 40year-old Ginobili, who has said he will decide in the offseason if he will return for a 17th season.

Wizards 106, Raptors 98

John Wall took over down the stretch after Bradley Beal fouled out, having a hand in 10 of Washington’s last 14 points and finishing with 27 points and 14 assists as the No. 8 seed Wizards came back to beat the No. 1 Toronto Raptors 106-98 Sunday night and even their Eastern Conference firstround playoff series at 2-all.
