Myles Turner led the team with 29 points, nine rebounds and four assists, Tyrese Haliburton added 24 points on eight of 16 shooting while Andrew Nembhard chipped in with 15 points and nine assists. As a team, the Pacers shot 51 percent from the field and a sizzling 22 of 43 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Bucks in a free-flowing closely contested first half, before they went on a crucial 9-0 run in the third quarter to start to pull away.

Brook Lopez led the team with 27 points on 12 of 18 shooting, Khris Middleton added 25 points with 10 rebounds and five assists while Malik Beasley chipped in with 20 points on eight of 12 shooting, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring.

The Bucks’ starters did a decent job early in the contest, but the Bucks needed more from their bench, as no reserve player scored more than eight points.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Pacers are keeping an eye on Tyrese Haliburton, who is questionable due to back spasms, while the Bucks are still missing Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Pacers well and truly hold all the momentum in this series, and they expectedly made it look easy against the shorthanded Bucks on Sunday. With the series shifting back to Milwaukee, I am sure we are going to see a better performance from the Bucks at home, but those injuries hit them at just the wrong time and I think their season ends here.
