What happened in the Bucks vs. Pacers playoff game?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, we had some eliminations in the playoffs. Bucks Pacers is electric and we've got Law Murray here to talk about the Nuggets beating the Clippers. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Zena. How are you?
Doing well, Dave. How are you?
I'm great. Welcome back. Congratulations again. Appreciate it. Again, we're just going to keep that vague here on the podcast. You can find that out there on social media. Hey, pretty interesting night of basketball we had last night. The Pacers and Bucks, we've watched this series sort of bubble up. It boiled over after the finish. But before we get to the fallout on the court, let's talk about this game a little bit because In contrast to the way that the Miami Heat were eliminated, Zena, the Milwaukee Bucks, they showed some Bucks culture. They came out, and I thought they took some really good swings. Obviously, they built a really huge lead to start this game, and it fell apart. because they just don't have the talent to match up with the Pacers. Before we get to the finish of this, Zena, Doc Rivers makes a lineup change. Brooke Lopez comes off the bench. I thought that this was a good move is maybe one that was made a little bit too late.
Yeah, I mean, the way that the Bucs came out was exactly what you would expect in an elimination game. But what I loved about the move that Doc Rivers made was that he went young and he went offense first, or offense forward. You got A.J. Green inserted into the lineup as well as KPJ. And obviously... you think about Damian Lillard going out that removes some offense. All right. Now you've got a three point shooter, AJ green coming in there. You needed some defense. You needed some verve to you. And that's exactly what the bucks look like. They got into a 20 point lead early in the first half, 30 to 13 in the first quarter. Like that's exactly what you want out of an offense. Then you, In the second quarter, it all unraveled.
It was like Indiana remembered, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What are we doing? We have more talent on our roster. Our depth is there. And also the minutes discrepancy. You look at what the Bucs had to do in terms of their starters and the minutes that they had to put up in comparison to Indiana. Indiana went five deep out of their bench. That played about four minutes in the second quarter. So while the Bucs were gassed, trying to keep up with the pace that they had set in the first quarter. Indiana was like, OK, cool. We got you a whole bench mob coming at you. Obi Top and everyone was just going at the Bucs in transition. It was it was exactly what Indiana has done all season. And they played two way and they disrupted.
What changes did Doc Rivers make in the Bucks' lineup?
The Bucs did a pretty good job of, you know, like, I don't know if you're into boxing, Zena, but like when you get tired, right, you can use your jab to keep a guy off you. Right. And that's what the Bucs did down the stretch. They weren't able to, you know, to to build a bigger lead. And the Pacers just felt like for the first three and a half quarters, like their offense, just, you know, they weren't making shots. They just weren't doing the things that we're used to them doing. And then we get to overtime. And Gary Trent Jr. goes off. By the way, the reason that you even get an overtime out of this game for the Bucs is because Gary Trent, after starting 0 of 7, just didn't miss. And he was lights out in overtime. If it wasn't for the efforts of Aaron Neesmith,
between hitting a big three, converting on a big layup, getting a big, I mean, offensive rebounds from Aaron Smith, then the Pacers would not have been in a position where Tyrese Halliburton could just dribble past Giannis Antetokounmpo in a way that, you know, you just don't usually see a blow-by on Giannis like that. You know, Halliburton gets the game winner on a dunk, and it's just...
