Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks secured a 117-101 win over the Indiana Pacers with a strong second-half performance in the first-round playoff series between the two teams on Friday. Milwaukee avoided falling into a disastrous 3-0 series deficit, now trailing 2-1.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has shouldered a staggering load, averaging 35 points and 15 rebounds across the first two playoff games, yet the Bucks still fell to 0–2 against Indiana. If the Bucks don't pull off a win Friday at their home, Antetokounmpo's loyalty might be tested.
