:59: MIL: Empty trips leads to a Lister 3 footer and Milwaukee's lead is 3.
:29: MIL: Walker misses a triple to tie the game and Cummings comes through, it's a 5 point game and that might do it.
:25: BOS: Kemba bombs a triple from far outside the arc.
The Celtics force the turnover - still 15 seconds left - Boston down by 2 and they set up for the last shot.
Tatum isolation - Tatum dribble - drive fire --

Celtics time out.
Again - Tatum. Just like the end of regulation - he rises. Fires. Again - he misses.
Again - Theis is there --- but this time he misses.
But a foul is called. Clock at :00. Terry Cummings fouls Daniel Theis with the Celtics down one. Cummings 5th foul, the Bucks bench is apoplectic.
Theis goes to the line. Needs 1 to tie.
He hits the first. 104-104.
And misses the second. Double Overtime.
Double OT
4:45: MIL: Cummings with the baseline J. The starters for these two squads have to be exhausted, totally spent.

:10: MIL: Terry Cummings again, quick shot just outside the paint. 114-112.
:06: BOS: Pressey fouls out. Walker hits both - and that is probably it.
It is.
Final: Celtics 116 Bucks 112
Just one of the great games you're ever going to see - it took a Theis buzzer beater to force OT and then a Theis free throw with no time on the clock to force the second. Boston takes the game and the series.
Terry Cummings goes 31/21 and Alton Lister 25/20. Sidney Moncrief plays 51 minutes.
