Following a 4-0 sweep of the Detroit Pistons in the First Round of the NBA Playoffs on Monday, the Milwaukee Bucks already knew their Second Round opponent would be the Boston Celtics.
But, they didn't know how long they'd have to wait for Game 1 of the Second Round pending the results of the other playoff series' and the results of the Boston Bruins' NHL playoff series, which would impact scheduling at the TD Garden, Boston's multi-purpose arena.
The wait is over. On Wednesday, April 24, the Bucks released the full Second Round schedule.
The Bucks will tip-off their Second Round series against the Boston Celtics at Fiserv Forum on Sunday, April 28, at noon. The game will air nationally on ABC.
Sunday is a busy day in Milwaukee sports as the Milwaukee Wave will play for a spot in the Finals of the Major Arena Soccer League playoffs at 2:05 p.m. at UWM Panther Arena and the Brewers will finish a three game road series at the New York Mets with first pitch set for 12:10 p.m.
The two teams will return to Fiserv Forum for Game 2 on Tuesday, April 30, before taking the series to Boston for Game 3 on Friday, May 3, and Game 4 on Monday, May 6. Tip-off times for Games 2-7 will be announced at a later date. The complete schedule for the Bucks and Celtics’ Second Round series is below.
