Bucks' Gary Trent Jr. scores 37, leads win over Pacers in Game 3

Gary Trent Jr. propelled the Milwaukee Bucks to a 117-101 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 3 of their first-round NBA playoff series, tying Ray Allen's franchise record by hitting nine 3-pointers and scoring 37 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo also contributed 37 points along with 12 rebounds and six assists, helping the Bucks overcome a halftime deficit by dominating the third quarter. Damian Lillard struggled offensively, shooting just 2-for-12 from the field and continuing his shooting slump since returning from a calf injury. The Pacers, who led at halftime, faltered defensively in the second half as Milwaukee caught fire from beyond the arc. This win ensures the series will go to at least five games, with Indiana still leading 2-1. Trent briefly left the game with a shin contusion but returned to finish strong for the Bucks.
