PACERS VS BUCKS HAS HALIBURTON WIN IT FOR INDIANA IN OT TO END SERIES IN 5

The Pacers vs Bucks matchup saw Tyrese Haliburton win it for Indiana in OT, 119-118, to end their first-round series in five games.

Furthermore, Haliburton drilled the game-winner with 1.3 seconds left to cap a comeback from a seven-point deficit in 40 seconds in the extra period.

Moreover, Indiana actually had to dig deep from a 20-point deficit in regulation before Andrew Nembhard and Haliburton got them to OT and gave them a chance.

Haliburton scored 26 points on 10-of-22 shooting along with nine assists and five rebounds for the Pacers.

It was also his dunk that tied the game for Indiana to force OT after regulation play.

BALANCED SCORING ALSO DID IT FOR INDIANA

Moreover, Myles Turner scored 21 points with nine rebounds, Aaron Nesmith had 19, while Nembhard added 15 for the Pacers.

Furthermore, reserve TJ McConnel scored 18 points in 17 minutes, while Pascal Siakam chipped in 10 for Indiana.

Top-seed Cleveland awaits the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals after the Cavs swept the Miami Heat.

BUCKS NEARLY EXTENDED SERIES SANS LILLARD BEHIND TRENT BUT FELL SHORT

The Bucks nearly extended the series despite the absence of Damian Lillard behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Gary Trent.

Furthermore, Antetokounmpo finished with 30 points along with 13 rebounds, and two assists but he committed seven turnovers.

Moreover, Trent came through with 33 points on 12-for-25 shooting and 8-of-17 on 3-pointers for the Bucks.

However, Lillard getting sidelined by a season-ending Achilles tear was felt by the Bucks despite Trent’s brilliance offensively.

Trent had one last chance to reverse the gane after Halburton’s shot, but his desperate heave at the OT burzzer had no chance.

Tempers flared after the match, as players from both teams shoved each other while others shook hands at center court.

Antetokounmpo bumped heads with Haliburton’s father and exchanged words for several seconds before they were separated.
