Player Grades: Indiana Pacers Get Speared by the Deer

The Milwaukee Bucks got some extra help from a playoff-type atmosphere thanks to an electric crowd that was excited to see their squad defend home court for the first time in the brand new Fiserv Forum. The Indiana Pacers got buried under a barrage of bombs from deep, as the Bucks knocked down 17 of their 47 attempted three-point shots.

In comparison, the Pacers were only able to hit 6 of 18 shots from deep and also struggled to take care of the ball or hit from the mid-range. A dominant first half from arguably the best player in the Eastern Conference, Giannis Antetokounmpo, also helped Milwaukee build a comfortable lead that the Pacers were just never able to come back from.
