Tyrese Haliburton and Indiana Pacers look to take advantage after stealing road game vs Milwaukee Bucks
Following a decisive defeat in Game 1 on Sunday, the Indiana Pacers swiftly rebounded with a commanding performance of their own in Game 2, defeating the Bucks 125-108 on Tuesday night in Milwaukee.
The victory marks a significant milestone for the Pacers, snapping their 10-game playoff losing streak. Their last postseason triumph dates back to a matchup against the Cavaliers in 2018.
In Game 1, a lackluster first half, described by head coach Rick Carlisle as "embarrassing", proved to be the decisive factor. The Pacers faced a daunting deficit, trailing by as many as 30 points on Sunday.
However, they demonstrated resilience in Game 2, keeping the contest closely contested. Momentum shifted in their favor before halftime, with consecutive 3-pointers by Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam propelling them to a five-point lead.
Pascal Siakam spearheaded the Pacers' offense with an impressive 37 points, supported by Myles Turner's contribution of 22 points and Andrew Nembhard's 20 points.
Despite All-Star Tyrese Haliburton being held below his average yet again, finishing with just 12 points, he showcased his playmaking ability by distributing 12 assists.
Game 3 between the Pacers and Bucks takes place on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
