It wasn't pretty, but it was enough. The Indiana Pacers have eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks 4-1 and will advance to the second rounds of the NBA playoffs.
The win was supplied by, naturally, Tyrese Haliburton, who put the Pacers ahead with 1.3 seconds on the clock.
It took an epic comeback and an epic collapse to get there. The Pacers were down by as many as 20 points in regulation and by as many as seven points with 40 seconds left in overtime. Then everything went right. Andrew Nembhard took over and Gary Trent Jr., who had shot the Bucks to that advantage, committed a galling turnover.
