The Indiana Pacers retaliated against the Milwaukee Bucks, winning Game 2 by 125-108 on Thursday, April 23, at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
This win leveled their first-round playoff series at one game apiece, and Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is looking forward to playing in front of their home crowd at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 3.
"I'm expecting it to be unbelievable. No doubt about that. We've had regular season crowds better than what we've played in these last two games. We expect a great crowd. A lot of people are excited about what's to come in the series," the 24-year-old playmaker said during the post-game press conference.
Haliburton contributed 12 points, four rebounds, 12 assists, one steal, and one block in 37 minutes of action.
Many Bucks fans in the Fiserv Forum were seen leaving the game early after their team fell behind by as much as 20 points in the fourth quarter.
