The Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Boston Celtics 117-97 on Sunday night, extending their losing streak to six games. The defeat at TD Garden marked another difficult outing for Milwaukee, which has struggled to find consistency early in the 2026-27 NBA season.
Boston controlled the game from the outset, building a double-digit lead in the first half and never relinquishing command. The Celtics' balanced attack overwhelmed a Bucks defense that has surrendered 115-plus points in four of the six losses during the skid.
Milwaukee's offense sputtered throughout the evening, unable to generate sustained runs against Boston's disciplined defensive scheme. The Bucks shot below 45% from the field and committed 16 turnovers that the Celtics converted into 22 points.
The loss drops Milwaukee to 3-7 on the season, while Boston improves to 7-3. The Bucks will look to snap the streak when they return home to face the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.
