The Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers are still in love. Milwaukee was able to get them back by winning Game 1 of their first round playoff series after the upstart Pacers embarrassed the Bucks during the regular season. Milwaukee won four of their five meetings this year, including a performance in the In-Season Tournament semifinals that took place under a pretty big spotlight.
Indiana retaliated on Tuesday night, as the squad’s explosive offense erupted in Game 2 to secure a victory following its disastrous performance in the first game. A few times during the match, there were arguments between the two teams, and following the game, one of Milwaukee’s more outspoken players had some things to say concerning the other squad. Bobby Portis discussed his opinions about the Pacers and his belief that they are a team of “frontrunners” with the media.
The Pacers appeared much more at ease on Tuesday night, as Pascal Siakam’s big performance tied the series and gave them the first traveling club to win in the 2024 playoffs. In any case, Portis’ remarks stoke anticipation for what should be a thrilling atmosphere in Indianapolis for Game 3.
