INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers hosted the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday for Game 6 of their first-round series. Entering the action, the series was 3-2 in favor of the Pacers , who had a chance to close out the best-of-seven set on Tuesday in Milwaukee but were crushed.
After seven minutes of play, the game was tied at 16. Obi Toppin had recently checked in for the hosts and was playing well. His energy and speed were difficult for the Bucks to match, and it helped the Pacers catch up. Quarter number two began with two buckets from the Bucks, including a three-point shot from Lillard, and the lead was already down to four. The Pacers were seeing a repeat of their last game in which their first quarter advantage disappeared quickly. They needed to regroup.
Indiana expanded that scoring margin for the final minutes of the half, including a few highlight plays and timely buckets. Their advantage was 59-47 at halftime, with Haliburton's 15 points leading the way. Aaron Nesmith was up to 12 points. Milwaukee went on a short run late in the third period, but Indiana answered with an 8-0 burst to end the frame. McConnell capped it off with a three, and the Pacers led 93-78 going into the final quarter. They were 12 minutes away from winning the series, but they needed to keep up their good play.
