At the buzzer, Giannis Antetokounmpo celebrates with the Pacers!

More than six months after their first-round playoff series, Indiana etc Milwaukee met again in the regular season. For a different result, because these are Bucks who won (117-115), on the occasion big return from Miles Turner (9 points, 7 rebounds, 5 blocks) in Indianapolis.

as often Giannis Antetokounmpo (33 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists) made a lot of effort in the racket Pacerswho for their part relied on Pascal Sakak (32 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals) i Isaiah Jackson (21 points, 10 rebounds), to give themselves a chance to win in the last seconds. Those who chased the result almost the entire match…

Except, on the final possession, Giannis Antetokounmpo took off his superhero cape to lay down a beautiful fadeaway at the buzzer, in front of Aaron Nesmith and Isaiah Jackson, to air-condition the entire room, and then drive Myles Turner crazy with joy. He deserves a finger in his mouth, shut up Indiana fans…

Before that, we’ll remind you that Milwaukee often considered itself safe, leading for example by +11 in the first quarter, +10 in the third, and even +12 in the fourth, after an impressive streak of eight consecutive 3-pointers. But the Pacers, awkward from long range without ever giving up, kept coming back using the physicality of their Pascal Siakam-Isaiah Jackson pairing. Finally powerless in the last isolation Giannis Antetokounmpo.

TO BE REMEMBERED

– Giannis Antechonpo abat Indiana d’un backame « Fadeavai ». The Bucks suffered, but the Bucks prevailed and obviously have Giannis Antetokounmpo, their prized “franchise player” to thank. With good help from a well-established collective, he put the team on his broad shoulders and went to register the “game winner” at the horn, as the Pacers once again erased a deficit of about ten points, as they have every time in this game. Provoked by the public, the “Greek Freak” fought back like the two-time MVP that he is and his rivalry with India, which had eliminated him in the playoffs two years in a row, took a new turn.

– Miles Turner was hoping for his return. After ten years in Indianapolis, Myles Turner decided to join the Bucks this summer. “Shock” for the Pacers and for their fans, as they apparently didn’t fail to boo their former player every time he took the ball… and even during his tribute video. His recent statements clearly went down well, and on the court he signed a big first quarter to launch Milwaukee, on each end, before showing himself to be more discreet and awkward as the minutes ticked away. Isaiah Jackson, his vengeful former deputy, dominates in intensity, but he still walks away with the win.

– Two more injuries for Indiana ! Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Taupin, Benedict Maturin, Andrew Nembhardt, TJ McConnell, Cam Jones… and now Quenton Jackson and Johnny Furfee. First, only author of the game of his life against the Warriorsinjured himself early in the third quarter trying to catch Giannis Antetokounmpo with what appears to be a strained thigh. Another, barely back from a foot injury, hurt his ankle trying to keep the ball from coming out, causing it to twist. The curse is totally on the Pacers.
