The Boston Celtics were back on the road Sunday night, in Milwaukee to take on a rebuilding Bucks team who they beat by 7 points in a matchup earlier in the week. Boston came into the matchup on a two-game winning streak, and made sure they did not keep it as close as they did just four days prior the last time they faced Milwaukee.

There was a collective effort from all of the key figures for Boston, and two of them took over in their own respective quarters. Jayson Tatum led the way in the opening quarter, Paul George had an explosive second quarter with 16 points, and Payton Pritchard lit it up in the fourth quarter, helping the Celtics pull away in a big way at the end of the game.

Boston's third straight win will now lead them into a primetime showdown against the Philadelphia 76ers for the first time this season, where they'll see former Celtic superstar Jaylen Brown with his new team. All the storylines of Brown and Tatum, and any potential issues between them will be the talk of the pre-game conversation, but it'll be a big test for Boston to prove their among the best in the Eastern Conference.

Final score: Boston Celtics 117, Milwaukee Bucks 97

Highlight of the game: Jayson Tatum gets the steal and slam in the third quarter

What's next: @ Philadelphia 76ers, Tuesday, November 10, 8:00PM ET on NBC

The biggest matchup of the early season thus far, both for the on the court play and storylines off the court, as the Boston Celtics will travel to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers. It'll be the first game for former Celtic Jaylen Brown and the star-sudden Sixers team he joined in an offseason trade in exchange for Paul George. The veteran George has been a big key for Boston to start 8-2 through their first 10 games, but all eyes will be on Brown and Jayson Tatum, over things that have been said in the media to open the season.
