The Milwaukee Bucks were able to stave off disaster in their first-round series against the Indiana Pacers; even better, they turned in a strong Game 3 second half performance to reel the series back to 2-1 while generating a bit of positive momentum.

The Indiana Pacers, after taking a 2-0 lead against the Milwaukee Bucks, looked poised to take an insurmountable 3-0 lead after taking a ten-point advantage into the second half. However, the Bucks got hot, led by Gary Trent Jr. and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who would each score at least 20 points in the second half to finish with 37 apiece.

The Milwaukee Bucks dominate the third quarter and keep rolling in the fourth, thanks to one familiar star getting help from an unlikely place.
