Celtics killer no more, Taurean Prince on what went wrong for Bucks in Boston blowout
"The way they move the ball – It's really flawless. It's hard to guard," said Prince.
In the past, Milwaukee Bucks forward Taurean Prince has been a legitimate problem for the Boston Celtics, the Baylor alum even graduating to the rarefied air of being a certified Celtics killer at his peak vs. Boston. But this season, neither he nor his Milwaukee squad have had much success against Boston, which the Texas native had some thoughts about after his Bucks' 133-101 drubbing at the hands of the Celtics on Friday (April 3) night.
"The way they move the ball – It's really flawless. It's hard to guard," said Prince of the team he spent the night scrambling to cover, Boston logging an especially high 33 times to garner an assist. "They just play the right way, and they make us make mistakes – or any team they play," added the Milwaukee wing, who saw the Celtics force 13 turnovers on the night in their road win.
"They make them make mistakes, and they drive the ball get everybody to help off the drive-and-kicks, and then make they make you pay," he explained. "And they're shooting the way they were in that first quarter. I think they made like 8 of their first 9 3s.
How do you defend (that)? " "A lot of them were wide open. So, according to our game plan, that's not what we wanted – I feel like those are mistakes on our behalf, but credit to them.
