Giannis Antetokounmpo Destroys All Boston Celtics’ Hopes with An Incredible Game Sealing Block
Giannis Antetokounmpo reminds the Boston Celtics who the reigning Finals MVP and former Defensive Player of the Year is. He sealed the game with an incredible block which destroyed all hopes for Boston who could have gotten another shot. What an incredible ending to an intense game that went right down to the wire. Boston led the game until the last minute. What went down in the last minute of the game will go down as one of the most incredible last minutes of a game on Christmas day.
This is the incredible sequence that obliterated all hopes for Boston fans. They thought their side almost had the win. But Giannis Antetokounmpo and the reigning champions showed the Celtics what it means to be clutch.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday come up clutch vs Celtics
Giannis Antetokounmpo had an impressive performance coming back from a Health protocol-forced break from the NBA. But the duo of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum was having a stellar night as well. The All-Star duo from Boston had the reigning champions worried.

Until the last minute when a steal from Jrue Holiday‘s attempt got blocked but resulted in a three for Wesley Matthews on the rebound. The game was not over yet since it was only a one-point lead.
Which is the moment Giannis Antetokounmpo reminded the league of his incredible reflexes and rim protection. After that block, the Celtics failed to get the rebound and had no option but to foul sending the Bucks to the free-throw line. The Bucks won the game 117-113.

What does this mean for Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics?
Consequently, Bucks secured the third seed in the Eastern Conference with their 22nd victory of the season. They are not 22-13 for the season. Simultaneously, the Boston Celtics are now struggling in a play-in spot which is not where they would’ve wanted to be at the end of Christmas. This slip-up loss is their 17th loss of the season as their record moves to 16-17 for the season.
Do you think Giannis will be able to his team to the NBA Finals once again? If his form remains consistent, which it has almost always been, there’s no doubt he has the potential to do the unthinkable. Do you agree? Let us know what you think about it.
