In a do or die game, the Milwaukee Bucks did what they showed back in game one, defending hard, controlling tempo and knocking down shots in a 115-92 rout of the Indiana Pacers at Fiserv Forum Tuesday night. Milwaukee held Indiana to a season low in points as the Pacers hit just 12 of 38 three points shots (31.6%). Meanwhile, several contributors emerged on offense with Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis leading the way. Each scored 29 and hit double-doubles with Middleton pulling down 12 rebounds and Portis collecting 10. Patrick Beverley added a third double-double with 13 points and 12 assists. Malik Beasley chipped in 18 points. After a slow start, the Bucks seized control by outscoring Indiana 64-36 over the middle two quarters. Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 16. Indiana still leads the series 3 games to 2 with game six going back to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Thursday night.
