On May 2, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. The Bucks are trailing the Pacers 2-3 in the current Eastern Conference matchup, and Lillard and Antetokounmpo are expected to return in G6, which is very good news for them.
Since the start of the playoffs, the Bucks have been plagued by injuries. The injury is still coming late in the regular season, and he has yet to play in the playoffs this season. Lillard was injured in G3, and he insisted on playing the entire game with the injury, but was diagnosed after the game and could not continue to play. Then the two missed G4 and G5 completely, and the Bucks first lost G4 and then won G5 yesterday!

With both Lillard and Antetokounmpo sidelined due to injury, it was not easy for the Bucks to save the game point yesterday. They became the first team in playoff history to win a playoff game without the top two scorers in the regular season. "I told my assistant coaches before the game that I didn't know if G5 would win the game, but before the game I saw that all the players were preparing and all of them were full of high morale, so I knew we were going to win tonight," Rivers said. ”
It is worth mentioning that during Rivers' coaching career, he has suffered many reversals in the playoffs, including three times when he was reversed with a 3-1 lead. Now that Rivers and the Bucks are down 1-3 in the series, they first won the precious G5, and then they may usher in the return of two big players, can Rivers complete the big comeback to prove himself?
According to the schedule, the Bucks and Pacers will play G6 on May 3, when the Bucks will play on the road, and whether they can drag the series into a tiebreaker?
