Celtics level with Bucks

Basketball: Al Horford and Jayson Tatum scored 30 points apiece to lead the Boston Celtics’ fourthquarter comeback in a 116108 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks yesterday that tied their Eastern

Conference semifinal at two games apiece.

Horford scored 16 points and Tatum 12 in the fourth quarter alone to help the Celtics outscore the defending NBA champion Bucks 4328 in the final period in Milwaukee. Horford’s 30 points were a career playoff high for the 35yearold veteran.

In San Francisco, Stephen Curry converted eight free throws over the final 45.7 seconds on the way to 32 points, leading the Golden State Warriors’ fourthquarter comeback for a 10198 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

It gave the Warriors a 31 lead over the Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals. Curry also dished out eight assists and grabbed five rebounds as Golden State rallied to win without coach Steve Kerr after he tested positive for Covid19 less than two hours before tipoff. — AP
