Khris Middleton put together a gritty playoff performance for the ages, but
Tyrese Haliburton floated in an and-1 game-winner as the Pacers topped the #Bucks 121-118 in overtime of Game 3.
2️⃣ Extra chances huge for Indy
👀 Portis helps key rally

@JimOwczarski
First, #Bucks guard Damian Lillard twisted up his left knee – only to come back afterward.
Then, he aggravates an Achilles tendon that renders him a decoy in OT.
So, ready to go in Game 4?
“I mean, that’s the plan.”

You have to see this play from the start to appreciate it. What a call by Carlisle. 6 seconds and they run AWAY from the hoop, create a hockey-style slingshot drive for the win. Hali got speed and momentum he needed and Bucks defense was flat footed.

Damian Lillard said Pascal Siakam landed on his foot, which twisted his knee in the first quarter. He said he then aggravated an Achilles injury in the 4th quarter
He’s hoping to get out ahead of the rehab/treatment process to get some explosiveness back for Game 4 – 9:39 PM

“Dame was really struggling. In the overtime, he said I’ll be the decoy. I just can’t go, as far as explosion.” – 9:00 PM

Doc Rivers, on Damian Lillard: “I think it’s his Achilles again, so we’ll see.”

CONFIDENCE. Tyrese Haliburton has been pass-first all series. (1st player with a 15-assist triple-double in Pacers postseason history.)
But… 5 seconds left in OT, he splits the defense & hits the floater! Can you guess the last time a Pacer hit a winning shot that late? (2001) – 8:53 PM
@SynergySST
Tyrese Haliburton has made 55% of his floaters this season. – 8:48 PM
@MarkMontieth
Most surprising thing in the box score for me was that Lillard hit just six of 20 shots. – 8:43 PM
@MarkMontieth
Another big game for the @Pacers bench. They outscored Milwaukee reserves 28 to 6. That likely will be the difference in the series. – 8:42 PM

Bucks lose. This play by Dame is on my mind.
Final minute of regulation. Grifts for a foul on minor contact by tossing up an ugly shot. Flops.
Scored 28 points but went 6/20. Middleton is giving Milwaukee everything he can with Giannis out, but Lillard needs to be much better. pic.twitter.com/RgCle86X9L – 8:38 PM

Doc elected to take Brook Lopez off the floor. Not sure he would have helped all the way up at the foul line where that shot was taken though, unless he rotated earlier. – 8:34 PM
@ScottAgness
Pacers outlast the Bucks for 121-118 OT win. Haliburton with an and-1 on Beverley. It’s his first playoff triple-double (18-10-16). Turner scored 29.
IND 2-1 series lead.
They led by as many as 19, but game slowed and Middleton (42) was special.
Next: G3 Sunday in Indy. – 8:34 PM
@KevinOConnorNBA
Tyrese Haliburton zig-zagging into this floater to take the lead is so awesome. What a game!!! pic.twitter.com/XkU4Dxubvf – 8:34 PM
@NateDuncanNBA
And that’s another absolutely fantastic ATO. Beverley decided not to follow so Tyrese was able to let it bounce so no time ran off, then get a running start to break his ankles. – 8:33 PM
@TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton. A moment with 1.6 seconds to go. pic.twitter.com/zgtmijicp5 – 8:31 PM
@NateDuncanNBA
Beautiful ATO by Doc knowing they’d put 2 on the ball on Dame and there’d be no body to take Middleton after Lopez then screened for him. Turner figured it out just a little late and got a decent contest but it banked in. Maybe Pacers should consider fouling if they up 3 in 2OT? – 8:31 PM
@Tsaltas46
Khris Middleton is refusing to lose in Indiana.
WHAT. A. GAME. #NBAPlayoffs – 8:31 PM
@ScottAgness
Baffling that the Pacers aren’t fouling like they had all season. Easy opportunity was there with Lillard.
Don’t care that he’s 12/12 at the line, I’ll take those chances up 3.
Instead, Middleton drains another 3-pointer to tie the game. – 8:31 PM
@JLEdwardsIII
Not to add insult to injury to Pistons fans once again watching Middleton do this, but I’m 99 percent sure they would have drafted Nesmith in 2020 if he didn’t go right before their pick. – 8:31 PM
@KendrickPerkins
That was a great ATO by Doc Rivers to get Middleton that 3 – 8:31 PM
@malika_andrews
He did it again! Khris Middleton doing everything for Milwaukee.
By the way, this is Middleton’s first 40+ point performance since March 2022. This is the version of Middleton the Bucks have been waiting to have back. – 8:30 PM
@TonyREast
Middleton again. He banks it in with 6.7 to go. Tie game. pic.twitter.com/8PLEgpkVS7 – 8:29 PM
@ESefko
Mavs off to a decent start, down 14-12 halfway through the first quarter. Hope you have split screen at home because Milwaukee-Indiana has been terrific. – 8:29 PM
@MarkMontieth
Another chance to foul when up three for the Pacers. Rare opportunity. – 8:28 PM
@NateDuncanNBA
Pacers finally figured out that the Bucks were helping a crazy amount off the corners and that it would be open. Nesmith bailed out Carlisle who should have called a timeout to set up the 2 for 1. – 8:28 PM
@ScottAgness
Bad pass, shot clock winding down and Nesmith was 0 for 6 distance — then he buries the go-ahead triple.
Now with 14.4s left, Pacers need to foul if the opportunity is there. (Note: Bucks 26/27 at the line) – 8:28 PM

only 5 seconds left + no bucks timeouts left + back turned to basket = foul immediately. as soon as brook ripped through and faced the hoop, pacers had to let that play out. – 8:20 PM
@BobbyMarks42
If there was a golden opportunity to foul up 3, Indiana just had it.
Especially with Milwaukee having no timeouts. – 8:18 PM
@MikePradaNBA
All Myles Turner needed to do was hedge out a tiny bit harder and they’d call a foul – 8:18 PM
@ScottAgness
Siakam’s launch from 30ft is no good.
Pacers head to OT for just the second time this season. The other time was a loss to Chicago.
Extra session favors the Pacers, but it certainly wasn’t necessary. – 8:17 PM
@TimBontemps
Absolutely inexcusable to not foul when Brook Lopez caught the ball with his back to the basket. – 8:16 PM
@PeterVecsey1
It doesn’t get more idiotic not to foul Middleton before he’s in the act of shooting. It’s even more idiotic than Hubie Brown doesn’t accentuate that stupidity!!! – 8:16 PM

PASCAL SIAKAM!!! OMG two incredible offensive rebounds in the final minute. Unbelievable awareness and hustle. – 8:09 PM
@ScottAgness
Pacers getting it done on the offensive glass. Three on the last possessive, then a big one there from Siakam + foul — which Rivers is challenging.
It’s the extra-effort plays. – 8:09 PM
@basketballtalk
I hope to be surprised someday by anything in my life the way Patrick Beverley is surprised every time he is whistled for a foul. – 8:08 PM
@ScottAgness
Offense hasn’t come as easily for the Pacers. 39pts in the 1Q, now just 39pts in the 2nd half. They’re -9 in the quarter as things are all even with 90 seconds to go.
Bucks trailed by 19 earlier in the game. – 8:05 PM
@ScottAgness
Middleton got them back in the game and now gives them the lead. He’s up to 30 points to lead all scorers.
Thus far, Bucks have an answer each time the Pacers pull ahead. – 8:01 PM

One of the sneaky valuable things that AJax brings is that the Pacers have just let him bring the ball up quickly without pressure. – 7:56 PM

Bobby Portis has been fantastic on the glass. Piled up 17 rebounds, along with 14pts.
All five Bucks starters have 11+ points. – 7:54 PM
@fmaddenNBA
The Bucks might win this game if they could get like 5 minutes of Regular Season Bobby Portis rather than Road Playoff Bobby Portis. Or just put AJax in for him… – 7:52 PM
@ScottAgness

Lillard buried his third 3-pointer and suddenly the Bucks are within two points with 10mins left.

Pacers seems really focused on taking away left shoulder turn from Portis in post, and he’s had nothing going opposite way. – 7:31 PM

Tyrese Haliburton had a heat pack applied to his left hamstring during the timeout. That’s his injured one.
He’s got 10-6-12 in 29mins as the Pacers lead by 11. – 7:28 PM

@ScottAgness
Pacers up 67-55 at half, didn’t lose too much ground in the 2Q — their worst.
They shot it well (51%) & were +21 from distance. Lillard wasn’t a huge factor, but Middleton (19pts) elevated his play. Bucks starting to have success in the paint.
Turner has 15pts, Toppin w/ 14. – 6:46 PM
@AschNBA
Indiana’s Aaron Nesmith was 0/6, 0/4 from 3, when Milwaukee’s Andre Jackson Jr. fouled him out on the right corner for 3 FTAs. Nesmith made all 3 of course.
Like swinging at the first pitch from a pitcher who has just walked the bases loaded. – 6:43 PM
@ScottAgness
Pacers have been sharing the ball so well. Haliburton already has 10 assists (compared to the Bucks’ eight). Up to 20a on 24 FGs.
But the Bucks have worked their way back — to within 8. Used a 1-2-2 zone and Middleton has piled up 19pts. – 6:42 PM

Pacers up 17 after 1 and Dame’s health is a big question.
Quite a varied 1Q. Pacers assisted on 14 of 17FGs, made five 3s and their bench was +17.
Bucks are 0/6 from 3, but outscored the Pacers from the FT line 10-0. – 6:14 PM

I’ve got a high level of concern for Lillard’s left knee. The defender landed on his heel right as Lillard landed, forcing his knee forward and inward. – 6:09 PM

They’re 5/13, Bucks are 0/6.
And now Lillard (left knee) is back in the locker room. – 6:09 PM

Worst-case scenario for Milwaukee if they are now without Giannis and Lillard. – 6:08 PM

One note on this early start time: Apparently Pacers were cool with starting at 530 rather than being banished to NBAtv, and league figured it was better off not having two games go head-to-head if avoidable. So that’s how we got here. – 6:05 PM

Myles Turner has been eager to return to the playoffs for years — and he’s playing like it. A little extra juice from the Pacers’ 2015 draft pick.
He had 8/4 in 8mins as the Pacers lead by 10. – 6:04 PM

Milwaukee’s shot quality and selection tonight has been awful. Also, several moments slow getting back in transition.
With no Giannis I think Pacers are the better team – 6:03 PM
@NateDuncanNBA
Lopez seemed upset with Beverley for something on the Hali dunk. Maybe they’re supposed to be keeping him on the side on those? – 5:52 PM

Haliburton with early success attacking + getting to the rim, a positive outlook for the Pacers. And Turner has already knocked down a pair of 3s.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (left calf strain) is out for Game 3 tonight in Indy. And so is Chris Livingston (illness).
Khris Middleton, who tweaked his right ankle, is questionable. – 11:41 AM

The Bucks have officially ruled out Giannis Antetokounmpo for Game 3 tonight against the Pacers, and very unlikely he’s back Sunday either.
There continues to be serious doubt on if Giannis will even return at all this series. pic.twitter.com/9w17hhG0rg – 11:38 AM

Coming into this series, the Bucks focused on Indiana’s pace and Tyrese Haliburton, but now, they have a Pascal Siakam problem.
“We just gotta figure out a way. He’s a proven champion and he knows how to play.”
