Why the Indiana Pacers looked so bad in a Game 5 loss to Milwaukee Bucks + adjustments for Game 6
Second chances are rare in the NBA playoffs, and if these two franchises intend to change their recent postseason histories, neither can afford to blow another opportunity in an Eastern Conference elimination game on Thursday night.
“We got a little stagnant, holding the ball and playing a little slower,” Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton said following at Milwaukee. “When teams switch, it can kind of lull you into that. We’ve got to be better there. I’ll be better there. Hell of an opportunity the next game back at home.” The NBA's highest-scoring team made the playoffs for the first time since 2020 and snapped a franchise-record 10-game postseason losing streak last week. Indiana is seeking to go 3-0 at home in a playoff series for the first time since the first round against Atlanta in 2013.“We’ve just got to get better, go back — we are home — and get a win,” said forward Pascal Siakam, who was part of Toronto's title-winning team in 2019.
“This team, they’re giving it to me. They’re doing everything, they really are,” Rivers said. “They’re playing together. They know we’re down men. They know they have to do it together. No one’s trying to be the hero. From a coach’s perspective, they’ve been amazing.”at home, their past postseason results haven't been much better than the Pacers.
