Jayson Tatum had 34 points and 10 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics held on to beat the visiting Bucks 111-105 on Friday night in Khris Middelton’s season debut for Milwaukee.

Jaylen Brown added 25 points as the Celtics made 17 3-pointers to earn their 10th victory in 11 games.

Damian Lillard had 31 points for Milwaukee, which has lost two straight since winning a season-best seven in a row. Giannis Antetokounmpo added 30 points and 11 rebounds on his 30th birthday.

Middleton had 11 points and five assists in 23 minutes after missing the Bucks’ first 21 games while recovering from offseason ankle surgeries.

Boston led 107-102 after a floater by Jrue Holiday when Brown was whistled for a foul on a 3-point attempt by Middleton, who hit all three free throws.

Two free throws by Holiday put Boston ahead 109-105. Antetokounmpo then turned it over, leading to a layup by Al Horford.

Middleton’s return marked only the 43rd time that he, Antetokounmpo and Lillard have played together. How well the recently surging Bucks can integrate Middleton could determine their prospects of contending in the East.

CELTICS’ BROWN FINED: Celtics forward Jaylen Brown was fined $25,000 by the NBA for his throat-slash gesture after a dunk against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

NBA head of basketball operations Joe Dumars announced the penalty Friday. Brown was fined for what the NBA considered an “inappropriate gesture.”

It occurred right before the end of the first quarter when Brown threw down a two-handed dunk against Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart. Brown then stared at Stewart for a few moments before moving his hand against his throat.

Brown told the media after the 130-120 victory over the Pistons that he expected to hear from the NBA for his actions.
