Apr 27, 2025; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (9) head butt Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (0) in the second quarter during game four of first round for the 2024 NBA Playoffs at Fiserv Forum. Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images Myles Turner scored 23 points as one of eight players in double digits and the Indiana Pacers took a 3-1 first-round series lead with a convincing 129-103 road victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night.
Andrew Nembhard scored 20 points and Tyrese Haliburton added 17 points, 15 assists and eight rebounds for Indiana. T.J. McConnell scored 15 points, Aaron Nesmith had 14 points, Obi Toppin scored 13 and Pascal Siakam and Jarace Walker added 12 apiece for the fourth-seeded Pacers.
Indiana never trailed while shooting a scorching 60.2 percent from the field — including 18 of 39 from 3-point range — and had 36 assists on 50 baskets.
Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded 28 points, 15 rebounds and six assists for the fifth-seeded Bucks. Kevin Porter Jr. added 23 points and fellow reserve Bobby Portis added 14 for Milwaukee.
Game 5 is Tuesday night at Indianapolis. The Pacers will be looking to eliminate Milwaukee in the first round for the second straight postseason.
The Bucks waved the white flag when they pulled Antetokounmpo with 4:44 left and Indiana leading by 22.
Milwaukee star Damian Lillard exited midway through the first quarter with a potentially serious lower left leg injury.
After being hurt, Lillard fell to the floor and immediately grabbed for the leg and was unable to get up. He departed with 5:57 left in the period and was scoreless with two assists and two rebounds.
This was Lillard’s third game since returning from having a blood clot in his right leg.
Milwaukee shot 41.6 percent from the field, including 15 of 37 from behind the arc.
Indiana shot a stellar 68.2 percent (15 of 22) from the field in the third quarter while stretching their halftime lead of 11 to 101-84. Antetokounmpo scored 18 points in the quarter for the Bucks.
Milwaukee pulled within 90-81 on two free throws by Antetokounmpo with 2:34 left in the period. The Pacers responded with an 11-3 quarter-ending surge, capped by Toppin’s fast-break layup with 0.2 seconds left.
Indiana continued its run by scoring nine of the first 13 points in the fourth quarter. Toppin’s jumper made it 110-88 with 9:50 remaining and prompted Bucks coach Doc Rivers to frantically call for a timeout.
The Bucks trailed 115-98 after Porter’s basket with 5:57 left in the game. After an Indiana timeout, Nembhard drained a 3-pointer, Siakam scored in the interior and Nembhard swished a midrange jumper to make it 122-98 with 4:32 left.
Turner scored 14 points in the first half to help the Pacers hold a 63-52 lead at the break. Porter had 15 in the half for Milwaukee.

Advogados de Caixinha notificam CBF por permitir que Santos registre Cleber Xavier sem pagar rescisão de antecessor
Os advogados do técnico Pedro Caixinha notificaram a CBF nesta terça-feira por permitir que o Santos registre o novo treinador, Cleber Xavier, antes de pagar a rescisão ao português, seu antecessor. Por não ter recebido a multa pela demissão no prazo de 10 dias, como prevê o contrato com o Santos, Caixinha não assinou a rescisão, e por lei o Santos não poderia registrar seu novo técnico. Mesmo assim, a entidade publicou em seu sistema a rescisão de Caixinha e o Santos já endereçou as informações para que Xavier apareça no Boletim Informativo Diário e comande o clube esta semana. Desta forma, a defesa de Caixinha questionou a CBF para que explique o ocorrido em 24 horas, considerando que a entidade foi conivente que o Santos burle as regras dela própria. Os advogados questionam, inclusive, se o fato de que […]
