The Boston Celtics went on the road and took down the Milwaukee Bucks 108-95 on Friday night in Game 6.

And that means we’ll have a Game 7 in Boston.

Jayson Tatum was incredible in Game 6 for the Celtics, scoring 46 points on 17-of-32 shooting from the field (7-of-15 on threes), pulling down nine rebounds, and dishing out four assists. He had a plus/minus of +21 (next-best in the game was +11 from Boston’s Marcus Smart).

Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t deserve to be on the losing end of this game. The Greek Freak scored 44 points, and he had 20 rebounds and six assists.

With their season on the line, the Celtics put together a fantastic performance in Game 6. Boston outscored Milwaukee in each quarter.

The Bucks were favored by 1.5 points entering Game 6, but the Game 7 betting line opens with the Celtics as five-point favorites on their home court.

So, the Bucks have to be disappointed in taking advantage of a much more favorable opportunity to close out the series, and now they’ll have to play *much* better in Game 7 to win. The winner of this series will take on the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Here’s a look at how the basketball world is reacting to Game 6 and the series reaching a Game 7:
