Pacers defeat Bucks 129-103, take 3-1 lead in playoffs

The Indiana Pacers dominated the Milwaukee Bucks 129-103 in Game 4, taking a 3-1 lead in their first-round NBA playoff series. Myles Turner led Indiana with 23 points, while seven other Pacers also scored in double figures, and Tyrese Haliburton added 17 points and 15 assists. Indiana shot over 60% from the field and made 18 three-pointers, never trailing throughout the game. The Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo posted 28 points and 15 rebounds, but Milwaukee struggled offensively, particularly after Damian Lillard exited in the first quarter with a potentially serious left leg injury. The Pacers can eliminate the Bucks in Game 5, marking a possible second consecutive first-round exit for Milwaukee at Indiana's hands. The game was marked by physical play and chippiness, but Indiana maintained control despite Milwaukee's attempts to rally.
