Holy crap now Dame has an Achilles subject?
The perfect gamers on the planet are being floor to items when the video games matter most.
Why are Giannis, Zion, Jimmy, Kawhi, and Joel on fumes? Why can’t we see them at their finest?

Frank Madden @fmaddenNBA
Lacking Giannis has a double-whammy impact on Bucks’ defensive rebounding — not solely is he a extremely good particular person rebounder, however with out him the Pacers have zero concern of the Bucks hurting them in transition in the event that they crash the offensive glass. – 9:05 AM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
First, #Bucks guard Damian Lillard knotted up his left knee – solely to come back again afterward.
Then, he aggravates an Achilles tendon that renders him a decoy in OT.
So, able to go in Sport 4?

He’s hoping to get out forward of the rehab/therapy course of to get some explosiveness again for Sport 4 – 9:39 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
“Each sport, the collection goes to alter,” Lillard mentioned. He thinks the Bucks performed a great sport at this time exterior of some offensive rebounds and early execution. Stated the Bucks have to remain in it mentally. – 9:32 PM

Damian Lillard re-aggravated his Achilles damage late on this sport. He’s hopefully he’ll get his burst again by Sunday. – 9:29 PM

Mark Montieth @MarkMontieth
Most stunning factor within the field rating for me was that Lillard hit simply six of 20 pictures. – 8:43 PM

Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
Bucks lose. This play by Dame is on my thoughts.
Remaining minute of regulation. Grifts for a foul on minor contact by tossing up an unpleasant shot. Flops.
Scored 28 factors however went 6/20. Middleton is giving Milwaukee every thing he can with Giannis out, however Lillard must be a lot better. pic.twitter.com/RgCle86X9L – 8:38 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Stunning ATO by Doc figuring out they’d put 2 on the ball on Dame and there’d be no physique to take Middleton after Lopez then screened for him. Turner figured it out just a bit late and received a good contest but it surely banked in. Possibly Pacers ought to take into account fouling in the event that they up 3 in 2OT? – 8:31 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Baffling that the Pacers aren’t fouling like that they had all season. Straightforward alternative was there with Lillard.
Don’t care that he’s 12/12 on the line, I’ll take these probabilities up 3.
As an alternative, Middleton drains one other 3-pointer to tie the sport. – 8:31 PM

Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Not supreme that Dame seems to be hobbled because the final play is developing – 8:13 PM

Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
My largest takeaway from this sport is that Giannis is 1 / 4 zip man – 8:12 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
I perceive Lillard’s frustration as a result of that decision has been there for him all evening – 8:11 PM

Kelly Iko @KellyIko
WOW. Enormous second effort by Siakam places Indiana up 109-106 with 19.1 seconds remaining. Bucks difficult the Lillard blocking foul. – 8:09 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
It’s simply not likely enjoyable to look at Lillard draw fouls. – 8:05 PM

Hole hole hole. Bucks defending Dame like they’ve by no means seen play. – 7:48 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Bucks almost get a 3rd straight 3-pointer from Lillard. As an alternative, missed it and Portis put it in.
12-2 Bucks run and so they have their first lead of the sport.
Pacers’ offense has stalled. – 7:48 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Damian Lillard with one other stepback 3.
And the Bucks have the lead. – 7:45 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
92-90 now after a nasty Lillard 3. Pacers offense nonetheless with simply 25 factors within the second half. They’ve to seek out their early-game kind in the event that they’re going to carry off the Bucks. – 7:41 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Lillard buried his third 3-pointer and immediately the Bucks are inside two factors with 10mins left.
Carlisle makes use of a timeout after they’re outscored 7-2 to start out the 4Q. – 7:41 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Damian Lillard hits a 3. Rick Carlisle calls a timeout.
And it’s a two-point sport.
Pacers up, 92-90, with 10:19 left. – 7:41 PM

Pacers up, 82-72, with 5:59 left within the third quarter. – 7:17 PM

Kelly Iko @KellyIko
I most likely wouldn’t have Lillard on the backline of a zone making an attempt to assist on a Siakam straight-line drive. – 7:15 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
A giant two-hand slam for Brook Lopez on the roll from Damian Lillard off of the V-action in transition. Fast timeout to Rick Carlisle.
Pacers up, 75-64, with 8:38 left within the third quarter. – 7:06 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Half: Pacers 67, Bucks 55
– Middleton 19pts/4reb
– Beverley 11pts
– Lopez 10pts/2ast
– Lillard 9pts/5ast
The Bucks recovered properly after a disastrous first quarter, however nonetheless path by double digits. – 6:46 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers up 67-55 at half, didn’t lose an excessive amount of floor within the 2Q — their worst.
They shot it properly (51%) & had been +21 from distance. Lillard wasn’t an enormous issue, however Middleton (19pts) elevated his play. Bucks beginning to have success within the paint.
Turner has 15pts, Toppin w/ 14. – 6:46 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks wanted that Lillard 3, which might have minimize the deficit to 4. Bought him open and he missed it.
As an alternative, Nesmith will get 3 FTs when Jackson fouled him on a nook 3 and the Pacers are again up by 10. – 6:41 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Did the referees simply decide to start out calling these BS fouls feeling contact and throwing up crap once more halfway by the third of PHI/NYK final evening? That Dame one on TJ was depressing. – 6:24 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Damian Lillard again within the sport. – 6:17 PM

Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
Damian Lillard has rejoined the crew on the bench and is checking again into the sport – 6:17 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
And Damian Lillard has come out to the Bucks bench firstly of the second quarter.
And Doc Rivers has put him again within the sport with 11:38 left within the second quarter. – 6:17 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers up 17 after 1 and Dame’s well being is a giant query.
Fairly a different 1Q. Pacers assisted on 14 of 17FGs, made 5 3s and their bench was +17.
Bucks are 0/6 from 3, however outscored the Pacers from the FT line 10-0. – 6:14 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That’s about as dangerous as the primary quarter may have gone for the Bucks. Pacers out and working early and Damian Lillard within the locker room with an damage.
Pacers up, 39-22, after one quarter. – 6:13 PM
