The Indiana Pacers destroyed the Milwaukee Bucks, 117-98, in the first game of their first round playoff matchup. Indiana looked absolutely dominant in the blow

Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers past the Bucks to take the lead in the best-of-seven first-round playoff series.

Siakam, tasked with the difficult job of being the Pacers’ primary defender on Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, was a difference-maker on both ends of the floor. The three-time All-Star led all Pacers scorers with 25 points, shooting 10-for-15 from the field and 3-for-5 from 3.
