Six facts that have to be admitted
1. Lillard is a tiger in this game, the offensive firepower in the first half is very ferocious, and he scored 26 points in the half, but he only scored 8 points in the third quarter in the second half, and he didn't score a point in the fourth quarter.
2. The Pacers' deal is really bloody, Siakam continued to play steadily today, playing 37 minutes, shooting 16 of 23, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and 37 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Sika has proven to be trustworthy in the playoffs, with a consistent output in both games, and is worthy of being a champion player.
3. Today, Haliburton shot 4 of 10, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and got 12 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists.
4. It turns out that the Bucks are missing Brother Alphabet, the defense is several gears worse, the Pacers today in addition to crazy counterattacks, three-point shots are also full of lethality, today's Pacers' three-point shooting is 16 of 36, the Bucks have no room for change, without Brother Alphabet, it is difficult for them to put on a more mobile lineup, and without Brother Alphabet, Sika has no one to limit at all.
5. Bucks center Lopez contributed 22 points, the key is only 1 rebound, a center, it is not easy to grab only one rebound in a game, today's three-point shooting, rebounds are all behind in all directions, no wonder it is a big defeat.
6. Today, after the Pacers stole a win at the Bucks' home court, the probability of advancing is much greater, as long as the Pacers hold their home court without losing, then it will be more difficult for the Bucks, Lillard is caught every time he breaks out, and no other player can stand up and score, and the Pacers' side Sika breaks out every game, and no one can limit it at all, so the balance of the series is likely to be tilted on the Pacers' side.
