3 Key Stats That Decided This Game
1. Turnovers — The Pacers’ Biggest Problem
The Pacers had 19 turnovers. The Bucks had just 9.
Milwaukee turned those Pacer mistakes into 27 points. Indiana only got 13 points off Bucks turnovers.
That’s a 14-point swing just from turnovers. In a game decided by 11 points, that was the difference.
2. Three-Point Shooting Was Dominant
Both teams shot well from three. But the Bucks were better:
- Bucks: 23/44 (52.3%) from three
- Pacers: 21/42 (50.0%) from three
Milwaukee made 2 more triples on 2 more attempts. When you shoot over 50% from three as a team, it’s almost impossible to stop.
3. Steals — Bucks Pressured the Ball All Night
- Bucks: 10 steals
- Pacers: 5 steals
The Bucks doubled up on steals. That pressure on the ball caused chaos for Indiana. Many of those 19 Pacers turnovers came from Bucks steals.

Key takeaways:

What Went Wrong for Indiana?

- 19 turnovers — way too many at any level
- Slow start overcome — the Pacers’ Q1 lead of 34–26 evaporated fast
- Defensive rating of 142 — the Bucks scored 1.42 points per possession, which is near impossible to beat
