The Indiana Pacers tied the playoff series with the Milwaukee Bucks at 1-1 after a dominant performance led by Pascal Siakam, who scored 37 points. The absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo was felt as the Pacers secured a 125-108 blowout win in Game 2. Bobby Portis of the Bucks called the Pacers 'frontrunners' as the rivalry intensified.
Pascal Siakam has played a huge role in the Pacers' first two playoff games. It wasn't easy for Indiana to integrate him into the offense after a midseason trade, but the work they did early is paying off. @KellyIko on Siakam's emergence as a leader ⤵️ https://t.co/sgn7u89eVu https://t.co/t5aQcImbkJ
The Pacers are young. Many of them haven't been here, in this moment, under the bright playoff lights. But Pascal Siakam has. And Indiana leaned on his leadership during its Game 2 win, writes @KellyIko. https://t.co/sgn7u89eVu https://t.co/EMAN0rVHQL
