KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Former Tennessee men's basketball star Grant Williams scored a career-high to help lead the Boston Celtics to a win in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The "Vol for Life" scored 21 points on 7-of-14 shooting. He came off the bench and finished as the third-leading scorer. Williams helped spark the Celtics in the first half with his offense.

He averaged 11.3 points 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in the Celtics' first-round matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. Williams is averaging 14.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in two games of this series against the Bucks.
