The success-starved Pacers will now receive a hero's welcome in the Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 3 on Friday, with the atmosphere bound to be electric following a three-year playoff drought. Brook Lopez scored 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting and drained a career-high six 3-pointers, but he also recorded only one rebound (has just five for the series) and also played spotty perimeter defense.
We break down the first-round matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers.
Things haven't been going well for the Milwaukee Bucks as of late. Starting in place of Malik Beasley is defensive specialist Patrick Beverley. The lineup change was announced before the game, based on Shams Charania's tweet. Looking at the numbers, one may initially question Milwaukee's decision.
