2-3!Middleton 29+12 Portis 29+10 Bucks beat Pacers
In the first round of the NBA playoffs G5, the Bucks returned to their home court to face the Pacers, and the "word list" combination continued to be absent in this game. At the start of the game, Haliburton felt hot and hit frequently from the outside, and Middleton also responded with mid-range shots. The Pacers blossomed from the outside and built a lead with a 15-2 spurt that ended the first quarter with an eight-point lead. In the second quarter, Befinley and Middleton teamed up to lead the Bucks to a 16-2 offensive run and directly overtook the score. The two sides then fell into a tug-of-war. At halftime, the Bucks outscored the Pacers by five points.
In the second half, the Pacers were in average shape on the offensive end, and the Bucks took advantage of the situation to play a 9-0 spurt to widen the margin to double digits. Portis continued to play efficiently, Beasley also hit back-to-back three-pointers, and the Bucks directly opened up a lead of more than 20 points. In the final quarter, the Bucks continued to exert their strength and expand the score. Although the Pacers went on a 7-0 run to stop the bleeding, Beasley responded with a three-pointer again. The Bucks always maintained a lead of around 20 points. In the end, the Bucks defeated the Pacers 115-92 to tie the overall score at 2-3.
Pacers: Siakam 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Turner 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Nembhard 12 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Haliburton 16 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Nesmith 7 points, 2 rebounds and 3 blocks
Bucks: Middleton 29 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, Portis 29 points and 10 rebounds, Beasley 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, Big Lopez 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks, Beverley 13 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals
Seven facts that have to be admitted
(1) Siakam: Not very good today! He played 33 and a half minutes on the offensive end, shooting only 5-of-12 (1-of-4 from three-point range) and 1-of-5 from the free-throw line with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, with a plus/minus of -18. If the latter letter is back, it will be even harder for the Pacers!
(2) Haliburton: Not ideal! played 33 minutes and shot 6 of 14, 4 of 10 three-pointers, got 16 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, plus or minus -14. The performance in the first half was good, and the second half was invisible, although this instability is normal, you need to adjust in time, and the next game must work hard to win.
(3) Portis: Hard and able to "fight"! In this battle, Portis, who was expelled in the last game, completed his redemption. In the whole game, he played 39 minutes, 14 of 24 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 29 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. The plus/minus is +30. Portis' 29 points was a career-high in the playoffs, up from 22 previously. Control your emotions a little, if you hadn't been expelled with a punch in the last game, now you might be leading 3-2!
(4) Beverley: Brother Dog is in charge! The Bucks fought to the death, Lillard and Brother Alphabet were both absent due to injury, and Beverley carried both ends of the offensive and defensive ends today and played an extremely bright performance. In this game, he played 36 minutes, shooting 4 of 7, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and got 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block + a playoff high 12 assists, plus/minus +36, the highest in the game!
In this game, Middleton played 39 minutes, shooting 9 of 20, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws, scoring 29 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. In the first quarter of the game, Middleton scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 3-of-6 shooting. Back then, like Murray, he could really score goals at critical moments, and he was really strong when he won the championship, but unfortunately he was ruined by injuries in the past two years, and now his health is back to before, and Milton's ball-handling offense has improved significantly.
Portis & Beverley set a new career high and the Bucks saved match points!
Regardless of the outcome of this series, we must pay tribute to the veterans of the Bucks, who defended their home court!
(7) The coach did his best! With more than 10 minutes left in the final quarter, the Pacers had used up all their timeouts
In the fourth quarter, the Bucks continued to exert their strength to extend their lead, and the Pacers used up all the timeouts after calling a timeout.
