George Hill takes over third quarter, burns Kyrie Irving, stuns NBA Twitter

In a pivotal Game 3 at TD Garden, the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks trailed the Celtics by a point at halftime, but responded by dropping 40 points in the third quarter to take control of the game.

Backup point guard George Hill, who you may remember from LeBron James’ 2018 Finals roster in Cleveland, caught fire midway through the quarter, draining a pair of threes to help Bucks separate during a 12-0 run. Kyrie Irving stopped the run at the foul line, but Hill immediately responded by blowing by Irving and throwing down an uncontested dunk.

Fans watching the game were blown away.

The Cavs could have used this George Hill and this Rodney Hood last year.

Eric Bledsoe getting into foul trouble has been the worst occurrence of the night for Boston, and the best occurrence of the night for Milwaukee. George Hill has been nothing short of outstanding.
