The emerging rivalry between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers has evolved into a prominent narrative within the league this season.
So Wednesday’s game between the two teams was not different, as Tyrese Haliburton, the talented All-Star guard, was determined to prove that Indiana’s previous victories over Milwaukee this season were not a mere coincidence.
Haliburton showcased his skills with an impressive performance, scoring 31 points and providing 12 assists. His contribution was instrumental in the Pacers’ remarkable 47-point third quarter, propelling them to a resounding 142-130 victory over the Bucks.
The win marked their fifth consecutive triumph and the fourth win over the Milwaukee Bucks this season, finishing their regular season series 4-1. This also means that four of the Bucks’ 10 losses this season came courtesy of the Pacers.
After the game, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was confronted with this fact, and had a pretty hilarious response:
“You have that and you think about it, when you go back home and sleep and wake up you think about it. When you go back and work out, you think about it. During the All-Star break, when you’re going to be at an exciting beach with your family, I hope you’re thinking about it. When you’re about to get freaky at night, you think about it…”
