The Bucks' overtime game was really exciting, although they lost 118-121 to the Pacers in the end, but the ups and downs of the whole game were even more exciting than a soap opera! In the game, Lillard of the Bucks played well, scoring 28 points, although not as glamorous as the first two games, but this score is not low anywhere. In addition, he contributed 8 rebounds and 3 assists, which is the rhythm of an all-round warrior.
On the Pacers' side, Haliburton is not a vegetarian either, he finished this game, 18 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists, this statistic just by looking at the assists shows that this young man is mostly playing the role of playmaking guard today. But don't look at Haliburton's scoring points, his performance at critical moments can determine the outcome of the game, especially the 2+1 in overtime, which is simply handsome, and steadily helped the Pacers win the game.
When it comes to the game, I have to say that the pace of this game is a roller coaster, one moment the Bucks lead, the other moment the Pacers catch up, and how strong the hearts of the audience have to be to withstand this toss. Especially at the end of the game, the Bucks' Middleton made a three-pointer at the end of regular time to directly help the Bucks drag the game into overtime.
Although the Pacers had the last laugh in overtime in the end, this game was definitely a rare experience for the Bucks. Although they lack the strong support of their brothers, the performance of other players also proves that the Bucks are not a team that can make or break by one person. Lillard and Middleton, in particular, can be said to have carried the Bucks' forward banner with their performances.
This game is not just an ordinary playoff game, but more like a battle of tactics and psychology. The coaches of both teams also used various tactics in the game, trying to find each other's weaknesses in the game. The Pacers eventually won the battle with more consistent play and accurate grasp of key moments.
For the Bucks, although this game was lost, it was not only a disappointment, but also a kind of foresight and preparation for future games. Whether it is the improvement of individual players' skills or the tacit understanding of teamwork, it is the direction that the Bucks can continue to dig deep and strengthen in the future.
Finally, let's give this game a thumbs up, because no matter whether we win or lose, what is shown in front of us is a group of professional players who work hard for a common goal, and they use their sweat and hard work to bring us a wonderful basketball feast. And for the fans, such a match is undoubtedly the best gift. Looking forward to the next game between the two sides, I hope the Bucks can adjust back and bring us more exciting games!
