NBA Twitter Went Crazy Over Giannis’ Alley-Oop To Himself In Game 1
The Boston Celtics were no match for the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1, and had to suffer a clear victory in front of a home crowd at TD Garden.
It was the Celtics’ first loss in these playoffs, leading to every team that is still in championship contention now having suffered at least one loss.
Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo was a huge reason why the Bucks didn’t have too many problems with the Celtics and had himself a huge triple double.
The highlight of the game however, came with 6:25 to play in the court quarter. Giannis was defended by Grant Williams and went past him, but with two more Celtics defenders in the paint, Giannis passed the ball to himself off the backboard and finished with a thundering slam.

The entire Bucks bench went crazy after the dunk, as did NBA Twitter, who reacted accordingly.
