  "account": "Paul George led the Boston Celtics to a 109-102 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in a tense matchup on Wednesday night. The Celtics' star player contributed 25 points and hit five three-pointers, while Derrick White added 24 points and seven assists. The Bucks struggled, finishing the game with a 1-7 record, including four consecutive losses on the road. Derrick White's game-winning performance came after the Bucks staged a brief resurgence in the third quarter, narrowing the gap to a single digit. With 8:17 left in the game, a Ryan Rollins dunk brought the Bucks within 91-89. However, Paul George's turnover with a timeout led to a layup by Nate Ament, making the score 91-91. The Celtics regained control when White hit a crucial two-point play, extending the lead to 102-97 with just 2:22 remaining. Boston dominated from beyond the arc, going 16 for 39 from three-point range. Jayson Tatum sat out due to rest, making it his first absence this season. The Celtics' strong start at home marked their fifth consecutive victory. The Bucks will face Toronto on Friday night, while the Celtics open a four-game road trip in Charlotte on Friday night.",
