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.

Renato Maurício Prado exalta Pedro e ironiza dois “fenômenos” do Palmeiras
Pedro comemora gol pelo Flamengo (Divulgação - CRF) Renato Maurício Prado rechaça uma comparação entre os elencos de Flamengo e Palmeiras. Na visão do comunicador, o plantel rubro-negro, de forma indiscutível, está acima do grupo alviverde de jogadores. Neste cenário, o retorno avassalador de Pedro aos gramados motivou uma alfinetada em Vitor Roque, tendo em vista que o reforço mais caro da história do futebol nacional segue sem balançar as redes. “Eu não vejo o elenco do Palmeiras melhor que o elenco do Flamengo. O Pedro já veio lá de trás fazendo gols. Quantos gols tem o Vitor Roque? Esse fenômeno de artilharia. O Pedro jogou quatro jogos e disparou, é vice-artilheiro. O Vitor Roque não fez nenhum gol até agora.”, disse RMP, no UOL News Esporte. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Além de Vitor Roque, o status de “fenômeno” de Facundo Torres […]
Capitals’ ‘hockey nerd’ Dylan Strome changes the game with his brain
ARLINGTON, Va. — If the Washington Capitals’ game-tying goal on Sunday night told us something about Tom Wilson, their game-winner told us something about Dylan Strome.The Capitals are one victory from eliminating the Montreal Canadiens from the Stanley Cup playoffs — Game 5 is Wednesday at Capital One Arena — and they’re in the catbird seat thanks in no small part to their No. 1 center.AdvertisementWilson’s window-rattling physicality, courtesy of a hit on Alexandre Carrier, changed the game’s tenor when Washington was down 3-2. Strome, though, helped bring it home, setting up Andrew Mangiapane for a high-shot snipe that put the Capitals up 4-3 with 3:37 remaining.The play, Capitals coach Spencer Carbery said, is Example A of Strome’s own distinguishing trait: an ability to think the game at a high level. He’s shown that for the last few years, and […]
After rough first month with the Yankees, reliever Devin Williams takes a step forward
BALTIMORE — Redemption won’t come all at once for Devin Williams. But on Monday in Baltimore, the beleaguered Yankees reliever took a modest step in the right direction.A clean eighth inning, in a 4-3 Yankees loss, offered Williams a moment of normalcy in a season that has been anything but simple. Upon conjuring a harmless pop-up to finish his scoreless frame, Williams strolled back to the bench alongside his teammates, not apart from them. A wave of high-fives and “atta boys” greeted him in the dugout.It was the type of dominant, ho-hum scene Yankees brass must’ve envisioned when they traded for Williams in December. Armed with a slow heartbeat and an untouchable, unicorn changeup dubbed “The Airbender,” Williams developed into a model of late-inning brilliance in Milwaukee. And so the 30-year-old, who is set to hit free agency this upcoming […]
