Pascal Siakam's 37 points propelled the Indiana Pacers to a 125-108 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, tying the series 1-1.

Siakam's playoff averages – 36.5 points, 12 rebounds, 64.6% field goal, and 50% three-point shooting – are pivotal for the Pacers.

Contributions from Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, and Myles Turner are significant to the Pacers' performance.

The rivalry between the Pacers and Bucks is intensifying, with players exchanging barbs and increased physicality on the court.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers highlighted the need for shot discipline, which was lacking in the fourth quarter of Game 2, contributing to their defeat.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence due to a calf injury is a major concern for the Bucks, with no clear indication of his return to full strength.

The Pacers aim to maintain their offensive strength and psychological edge in the upcoming Game 3 at Indianapolis.
