The Milwaukee Bucks (38 - 38) defeated the Boston Celtics (34 - 42) 110 - 101 on Friday. O.J. Mayo came off the bench and had a huge game for Milwaukee. He had his best game since coming back from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss twelve games between Feb. 24 and Mar. 24. In 29 minutes he put up 24 points, six assists, five rebounds and two steals against in Boston. As is the case on most nights recently, Michael Carter-Williams had a rough shooting night, coupled with a high turnover rate. He had eight points of 3 - for - 8 shooting to go along with a whopping six turnovers on Friday. However he was able to contribute in other areas to help lead his team back to a .500 record. He finished with seven assists, five rebounds, five steals and two blocks. Much like the Bucks, the Celtics have a high - scoring sixth man off the bench who lead them in points. Isaiah Thomas had 23 points and six assists in 26 minutes, but did turn the ball over five times. Evan Turner had three turnovers himself; he followed up his triple - double on Wednesday with a six points, six rebounds and six assists in a not so heavenly performance. Boston is trying to scratch and claw their way to a playoff birth but currently sit on the outside looking in at the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The Celtics will head to Toronto to take on the Raptors on Saturday, as the Bucks will host the Orlando Magic.
