Part of the Boston Celtics’ gameplan to slow down Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is to be physical with him, and the likely NBA MVP hasn’t been shy about discussing the level of contact he’s taken through two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Antetokounmpo even told Yahoo! Sports’ Vincent Goodwill after the Bucks’ blowout win Tuesday night in Game 2 that the C’s play ‘to the limits’ of flagrant fouls.

Giannis on the Celtics’ physicality: “You can play to the limits of fouling. They definitely play to the limits of [flagrant] fouling.”
