The postgame media interviews are a bit of a conundrum for NBA players, most especially after a crushing defeat and in the playoffs at that. On one hand, you're expected to show up in the press room and entertain all inquiries, but on the other, how do you respond exactly to those about officiating without shooting yourself in the foot and having your salary garnished with fines?

Al Horford of the Boston Celtics was able to make the best of both worlds – somewhat answering the question and giving the media what they want, while also being a great sport about the blowout loss against the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 and finding humor in the situation.

After racing off to a 2-0 series lead, the Celtics were blown out in Game 3 at Bradley Center, spearheaded by Bucks forward Khris Middleton's midrange wizardry, finishing with an all-around line of 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. The Bucks also got some much-needed contributions from the underperforming starting point guard Eric Bledsoe as well as the demoted Tony Snell (who was finally nailing threes), but most notably forward Jabari Parker who surprisingly got the nod (despite his behavior in the press) with his scoring and floor stretching over the rim protection of John Henson who was a DNP recipient for this one.

The Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo, only played 27 minutes due to the score, but still put up an admirable 19 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks line. Horford was the top scorer for the Celtics with 16 points followed by Jayson Tatum's 14.

The Bucks' success continued in Game 4 getting a narrow win to even the series as it heads back to Boston.
