密尔沃基，4月8日(AP) -- 星期二，波士顿的 “三大” 回了密成建立一个大的领先，但凯尔特人的预备球员差点输给雄鹿了，而需要在超时恢复为了拿一次107-104的胜利。

埃迪-豪斯的三分球在超时结束前1分29秒使凯尔特人领先于雄鹿，而之后波士顿一直到比赛结束没让雄鹿得分 – 确定他们不浪费一次本来应该很容易得取的胜利。

凯尔特人现在有7连胜。

在从板凳看了星期六在夏洛特的胜利之后，球星凯文-加纳特，雷-阿伦及保罗-皮尔斯劝了主教练道格-里弗斯让他们参加星期二晚上的比赛。里弗斯原来想让他们多休息一个晚上，但后来他同意了。

加纳特得了21分，阿伦有了11分，以及在他的女儿出生之后回球队的皮尔斯有了14分。

这三位一体打到第三节了，带领凯尔特人在中场休息之后有一个14-4得分连续 – 包括一个阿伦的攻击内线直接上篮，以迈克尔-里德的失误的扣篮，而以皮尔斯的跳投，直接上篮及三分球的7分。

Postgame News and Notes Michael Redd’s three-pointer with 10.5 seconds left sent tonight’s game into overtime, despite the Bucks not holding a single lead during regulation. The game was tied three times, including twice in the fourth quarter. With a Desmond Mason jumper, the Bucks snagged their first lead of the game with 3:32 remaining in overtime (101-99). There were four lead changes in overtime. The Bucks outscored the Celtics 21-7 to tie the game at 87 in the 4th quarter. After the Bucks tied it, the Celtics went on a 10-2 run, but the Bucks countered with a 12-2 run to close regulation. Tonight’s dramatic win is Boston’s seventh in a row, including a 4-0 mark during the month of April. The Celtics secured a win in the season series with the Bucks. The teams split last season 2-2 and close out their series Friday with Boston ahead 3-0. A total of 12 players scored in double digits tonight, including six players on each team. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Leon Powe, James Posey and Tony Allen pulled the feat for the Celtics. Desmond Mason, Andrew Bogut, Michael Redd, Ramon Sessions, Bobby Simmons and Royal Ivey did so for Milwaukee. Kevin Garnett scored 13 points of his 21 points in the 1st quarter. Garnett led his team in scoring, despite playing the second fewest minutes on his squad. The game was dominated by dramatic streaks on both sides. After Boston opened the game with a 17-2 run (including a stretch of 15 unanswered points), the Bucks outscored the Celtics 27-15 to close out the 1st quarter. Down by as many as 15 points in the opening frame, the Bucks trailed by just 3 after one quarter (29-32). Boston then opened the 2nd quarter with a 9-2 run, and the 3rd quarter with a 14-4 run. The Bucks also went on an 11-0 run later in the 3rd quarter. Desmond Mason scored the Bucks’ first 7 points tonight and finished with 14 points.

Andrew Bogut grabbed his fifth double-double in as many games, for his team-leading 37th on the year. No. 6 finished with 15 points and 15 rebounds. He also blocked 4 shots for the 11th time this season. Rookie Ramon Sessions again passed his career high with 13 points tonight. He had 9 of those points at halftime.

(On coming back from a large deficit to force overtime…)
“I’m proud of it. I’m proud of the team. We had an opportunity to fold it up and we put an energy group on the floor and they battled. It’s a real strong indication of what happens if you put some (energy) guys out there. It isn’t always pretty with that group but it’s a lot of fun to watch, the aggressive nature. I thought we had a lot of guys who laid their hearts on the line in a situation where we could have folded. I’m super proud of them.”

(On the smaller line-up in the game down the stretch…)
“It was primarily an energy situation and a defensive situation. We went with some guys who were pretty much warmed up already and I thought we needed some size and some rebounding. I looked at the defensive assignment and I thought it probably made more sense late in the game to have (Ramon) Sessions in the game because it allowed Desmond (Mason) to match up with (Brian) Scalabrine who is more of a shooter. We went smaller towards the end.”

(On playing more defensive-minded...)
“It’s a situation where whichever five guys are starting have to come out with a lot of energy defensively. We can’t be thinking about scoring points and doing anything like that, we have to focus on getting stops.”

(On coming back to force overtime…)
“Boston overall is a great team and a great defensive team. Guys didn’t give up. I have to tip my hat to a lot of the guys out there diving for loose balls. We were down 20 but guys kept fighting and we were able to cut the lead back.”

(On his expectations for the rest of the season…)
“Personally for me, just run the ball club and try to run the team as much as I can. For a team, just go out every night and be professional and never give up. I feel like that’s what we’re doing.”

(On his three-point shot that sent the game into overtime…)
“It was a great moment for our team. I had to pump-fake Tony Allen to get the shot off. I was just glad that we showed heart tonight. We played and we showed up.”

(On coming back from behind tonight…)
“There’s no surrender and there’s no quit in our team. There’s no laying it down. We’re going to finish the season off strong and play hard and be professional.”
