The Boston Celtics walked out of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals with a win, dominating the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks 112-90 to take a 1-0 series lead.

Despite their convincing victory against one of the most dominant teams in the NBA right now, the Celtics are not satisfied.

After the game, Jaylen Brown played down their victory and said that it is a seven-game series. He added that they wouldn't be feeling good with just one win.

“You gotta win four games. No matter how you draw it up, one of us has gotta win four games. So I don’t think we’re going to feel good until we get it,” Brown said, per Brian Robb of Boston Sports Journal.

Marcus Morris agrees with his teammate's sentiments, saying that although they're happy they got the road win, there's still a lot of work to do.

“It’s not enough. It’s not enough,” Morris shared. “It’s a win. We accept it but it’s not enough.”

In addition, Gordon Hayward said that the Celtics want to completely erase Milwaukee's homecourt advantage by heading home with a 2-0 series lead.

“We want to come out of Milwaukee with two wins, not one,” Hayward said, per Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe.

The Celtics aren't taking things lightly. They know the caliber of this Bucks team and being complacent this early could backfire, so they're taking the challenge of taking down their opponents very seriously.

They know that the Bucks will bounce back and that this series won't be an easy one.

Game 2 of the series will be on Tuesday, April 30, at Milwaukee.
