This game was won in the first half, as Milwaukee was outscored 75-55. Boston hit eight of its first nine attempts from 3-point range, setting the stage for the early onslaught, and the Bucks were unable to recover.
Taurean Prince scored a team-high 18 points off the bench. He shot 7-for-8 overall and 4-for-5 from beyond the arc. AJ Green added 15 points and five assists.
After a narrow 125-124 win over Chicago, the Grizzlies have dropped three straight. Their latest setback was a 128-96 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
Memphis was within five points after the first quarter, but that is as good as it would get. The Raptors led by 18 at the break and extended the lead to 33 points in the fourth quarter.
GG Jackson led the way with 30 points and five rebounds. Cedric Howard added 15 points on 5-for-11 shooting from the field.
Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
The Bucks have dropped the previous five meetings in this series, and they are 1-5 in their last six outings against Western Conference opponents. But given the Grizzlies' struggles, look for Milwaukee to come out on top by a slim margin.
