The Pacers notched their first postseason win in nearly six years in Game 2 against the Bucks on Tuesday, tying up the first-round series at 1-1. Indiana came out with a 125-108 victory, taking down a Milwaukee team that was without Giannis Antetokounmpo for the second contest in a row.

Pascal Siakam scored a playoff career-high 37 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and Myles Turner contributed 22 points, seven rebounds, six assists and three blocks. Tyrese Haliburton deferred to his teammates, but he still managed to finish with a double-double of 12 points and 12 assists.

Indiana shot 55.6 percent from the field and only turned the ball over five times in the 17-point win. Each starter scored at least 11 points, allowing the Pacers to steal home-court advantage from the Bucks.

Damian Lillard scored a team-high 34-points in the loss to go with five assists and for rebounds. A stellar shooting night from Brook Lopez (22 points, 6-of-7 on 3-pointers) and a double-double from Bobby Portis (14 points, 11 rebounds) still weren’t enough to overcome the Pacers’ offensive explosion.
