Despite Antetokounmpo’s fatigue setting in during the closing moments, he continued to be a force to be reckoned with and finished the game just one point away from his career-high of 55, set in a game against Washington.
The Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton played a significant role in securing the victory, contributing 29 points and 10 assists. His performance was part of the Pacers’ strong offensive display.
Middleton was also instrumental for the Bucks, scoring 19 points and uplifting the team during the game. Unfortunately, a missed three-pointer opportunity by Middleton in the final seconds of the game hindered the Bucks’ chances of victory.
