The Indiana Pacers pulled off a stunning victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, overcoming a 54-point performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo to win 126-124. The Pacers were led by Malcolm Brogdon, who had a career-high 33 points and 8 assists.
The Bucks had the lead for most of the game, thanks to Antetokounmpo’s incredible performance. He shot 19-of-30 from the field and 16-of-19 from the free throw line, and also added 10 rebounds and 6 assists.
But the Pacers kept fighting and eventually took the lead late in the fourth quarter. Brogdon was key down the stretch, scoring 12 points in the final period. He was supported by Domantas Sabonis, who had 28 points and 14 rebounds, and Myles Turner, who had 18 points and 9 rebounds.
The Pacers’ victory was a testament to their team spirit and resilience. They never gave up, even when it seemed like Antetokounmpo was going to carry the Bucks to victory. It was a great team effort from Indiana, and a great individual performance from Brogdon.
The Pacers now have a 2-1 lead in the series, and will look to close it out in Game 4 on Thursday night. With Antetokounmpo likely to have another big game, the Pacers will need another strong team performance if they want to come away with the win.
