The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics are engaged in a do-or-die Game 7 at the TD Garden in Boston where every inch will be grabbed by both teams as if it will decide the outcome of the game. The players aren't expected to hold back the intensity level but for Giannis Antetokounmpo, in one play at the least, that grit backfired.

After a shot off a penetration by Jayson Tatum, Antetokounmpo was left in the paint against the bruising Aron Baynes to battle for the rebound. But as the All-Star forward got up, he was seemingly pushed by the Celtics big man. With the freakish length Antetokounmpo possesses, he still got a finger on the ball as it went in for two points in favor of the home team.

Watch the instance below which occurred with a little over two minutes remaining in the first quarter:

Antetokounmpo had a quiet first half, scoring only nine points on 3-of-9 shooting from the field. Meanwhile, Baynes had scored six points but two of those can be credited to Antetokounmpo as Baynes was awarded the basket being the closest to the play.

The Celtics have controlled the game for pretty much most of the game, but the Bucks are still dangerous with Antetokounmpo still to catch fire.
