Too much got away from the Indiana Pacers in tonight’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, highlighting their thin margin for error against elite teams especially while playing without Domantas Sabonis. Things weren’t always as bad as the 117-98 final indicated, but they didn’t do themselves any real favors with poor shooting throughout the night, which constantly allowed Milwaukee to seize momentum with a number of lengthy runs.
The Pacers fell behind by eight early, as they are wont to do, but quickly climbed back in the game, taking an 18-17 lead. The first of Milwaukee’s runs came immediately after, regaining the lead on an 8-2 run.
