Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks’ MVP candidate, desperately wanted to provide a spark and cut into a second-half lead against Horford’s Boston Celtics in the opener of a second-round playoff series on Sunday. The Celtics clamped down on Antetokounmpo all game and cruised past the Bucks, 112-90. He didn’t make his first field goal until the first minute of the second quarter. The shooting woes continued for the Bucks until midway through the second quarter, when Milwaukee used a 15-0 run to pull even at 40. “You play when you are told to play,” Stevens said.
