On Thursday, the Milwaukee Bucks faced the Boston Celtics in what was expected to be an exciting clash between two of the Eastern Conference's top teams. However, the game turned out to be a one-sided affair. The Bucks put on a show, downing the Celtics in a massive blowout that saw the lead swell to as much as 43 points.

As expected, even before the conclusion of the game, NBA Twitter was alive in a frenzy seeing the league's number one team get annihilated.

A lot of the talk revolved around how TNT switched broadcasts due to the severity of the blowout. By halftime, the Bucks already amassed a 37-point lead, 75-38. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla decided to keep the starters on the bench entering the third, so TNT tried to find much more exciting action elsewhere.

Ernie Johnson himself even explained how difficult it was to find another game to broadcast, considering how the other Thursday night games were blowouts as well.

Other Bucks fans were just having a field day seeing their team obliterate an Eastern Conference rival.
