Pascal Siakam had 28 points and Aaron Nesmith scored 18 for the Pacers. Tyrese Haliburton finished with 14 points and 10 assists.
After trailing throughout Game 2, the Bucks grabbed an early lead. Antetokounmpo and Trent, who got a rare start, combined to score Milwaukee’s first 21 points. No other Bucks player scored until Green sank a 3-pointer with 2:28 left in the opening quarter.
Milwaukee shot 4 for 23 from 3-point range over the first two quarters but was 11 for 18 after halftime.
Bucks star guard Damian Lillard was held to seven points on 2-of-12 shooting. He made just 1-of-8 3-pointers.

Luka Doncic’s Stomach Illness a Major Concern for Lakers Before Game 4
All eyes are on Luka Doncic’s stomach heading into Game 4No, this is not a reference to the Dallas Mavericks’ efforts to label Doncic as pudgy after they inexplicably traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this season. It’s about Doncic’s health. The Lakers revealed that Doncic battled a stomach bug in Game 3, which helped explain his poor performance in the Lakers’ 116-104 loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. Doncic missed 10 of 16 shots and committed a handful of turnovers, and the Timberwolves took a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinals series. Now the star-powered Lakers face the possibility of falling behind 3-1 in the series on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. That would put all of the pressure on the shoulders of Doncic, LeBron James and the rest of the Lakers as they […]

The Serbian fell to Jakub Mensik of the Czech Republic in the Miami final and then lost to Alejandro Tabilo of Chile in his Monte Carlo opener. "He's my idol, he's always been," Arnaldi said of Djokovic. "I was just glad that I could play him. I never played him, just […]
Giants draft RB Cam Skattebo: How he fits, pick grade and scouting intel
The New York Giants selected Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo with the third pick of the fourth round, No. 105 overall, in the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday afternoon.Skattebo was the fourth pick of the 2025 draft for the Giants, who have now split their picks between offense and defense. New York beefed up its defensive front with the selection of Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter at No. 3 overall and Toledo defensive tackle Darius Alexander at No. 65. On offense, the Giants moved back into the first round for Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart before selecting Skattebo to kick off their Day 3.The Skattebo pick made a lot of sense for the Giants on multiple fronts. First, we knew the Giants wanted to add to their running back room. They did a ton of work on mid-round running […]
NFL legend Lawrence Taylor refuses to let Abdul Carter wear No. 56 with Giants: ‘Get your own number’
Getty Images After getting selected by the New York Giants with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft, Abdul Carter had his sights set on wearing a specific number during his rookie year but that won't be happening. The Penn State pass rusher was hoping to wear No. 56, which might be the most famous number in franchise history for the Giants and that's mostly because it was worn by Lawrence Taylor. The NFL legend spent his entire 13-year career in New York and after he was done playing, the Giants ended up retiring his number. With 56 not technically available, the only way Carter was going to be able to wear it was if he got permission from Taylor and that definitely won't be happening. During an interview with the New York Post, the Pro Football Hall of Famer made […]
