Exploded! 18+10+13! Thanks to the Clippers' major trade

Unfazed by strong competition, the Bucks won 116-101 against the Celtics on their home court.

Here are the Celtics' stats:

Here are the Bucks' stats:

Kuzma had an exceptional game, hitting 13 out of 17 shots with about 76% accuracy, tallying 31 points and 6 boards; Jrue Holiday kept up his powerful output with 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 13 assists, achieving a triple-double.

In February this year, the Clippers traded Jrue Holiday to the Bucks in exchange for Boucher, who now seems to have vanished from the NBA entirely....Honestly, the Clippers are truly generous, willing to suffer themselves just to spread benefits to other teams everywhere.

So far this season, Jrue Holiday has started all seven games for the Bucks, averaging 29.3 minutes, contributing 21.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists, and 2 steals per game, shooting 56.3% overall and 59.5% from beyond the arc with 3.1 made threes per game. He holds a player option next summer that allows him to opt out early and enter free agency.

Currently, the Bucks stand 10th in the East with an 11-15 record, while the Celtics hold third place in the East with a 15-10 record.

The Celtics truly live up to their elite status; even without Tatum, they remain highly competitive. Jayson Brown, the team's lone star, is averaging 29.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.1 steals per game this season, shooting around 50% from the field.

Jayson Brown, who has proven himself this season, has paid the price with a gradually receding hairline. (Just kidding.)

Great news for the Celtics: Tatum is recovering rapidly and has already started 1-on-1 court training. Medical doctor Morse commented, “Tatum could return at any time, likely sometime in January next year.”

On May 13 this year, Tatum suffered a right Achilles tendon rupture but is nearing a comeback after only seven months of recovery. The legendary durability is well-deserved and considered a medical miracle. The Celtics have not denied the possibility of his return this season.

If Tatum truly returns and regains his All-Star form, the Celtics have a strong chance to break out of the East this season, especially since their toughest rivals are mainly the Pistons and Knicks.
