Milwaukee has struggled in the postseason since winning the title in 2021 against the Phoenix Suns. Antetokounmpo and Co. lost to the Boston Celtics in the second round of the 2022 playoffs, the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2023 playoffs and the Pacers in the first round of last year's playoffs.

Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a fantastic showing in the Game 2 defeat, scoring 34 points on 14-of-20 shooting while recording a whopping 18 rebounds, seven assists and one block. The Bucks took too long to find a rhythm, however, and wavered defensively in crucial moments. It will take a team effort to shift momentum in this series.

The Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks will lock horns for Game 2 of their playoff series. The Pacers will look to take a 2-0 lead after beating the Bucks 117-98 in Game 1 this past Saturday. The Pacers came out swinging in front of their raucous home crowd and left the Bucks searching for identity on both ends of the court.
