PREVIEW: The Indiana Pacers travel to Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum with a commanding 2-0 series lead against the Bucks in this crucial first-round playoff matchup. Despite being the lower seed, Indiana's high-frequency pick and roll offense (ranked 2nd league-wide) and exceptional passing game (also 2nd) have proven too much for Milwaukee's defense through two games. Pascal Siakam has been dominant, notching 24 points and 11 rebounds in their most recent 123-115 victory, while floor general Tyrese Haliburton continued his stellar play with 21 points and 12 assists. The Pacers' low turnover rate (3rd best in the NBA) has allowed them to maintain offensive flow against a Bucks team that struggles to force turnovers (ranked 26th). Milwaukee faces a must-win situation at home, where they posted a strong 27-14 regular season record compared to Indiana's 20-20 road mark. The Bucks will likely look to leverage their strengths in post-up opportunities (ranked 2nd in frequency) and their elite rim-attacking efficiency (3rd best) to counter the Pacers' defensive vulnerability in that area (ranked last in shots allowed at the rim). Giannis Antetokounmpo has been phenomenal despite his team's struggles, averaging 35 points and 24 rebounds across the first two games, but needs more consistent support from Damian Lillard, who managed just 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting in Game 2. The Bucks' high free throw rate (3rd in the league) could be a key factor as they look to capitalize on their home-court advantage and avoid falling into a nearly insurmountable 3-0 series deficit.
