For the second year in a row, the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks are meeting in the first round of the NBA playoffs. And so far, the Pacers certainly have used playing on their home court to their advantage.

Having just defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 123-115, the Indiana Pacers have further pulled ahead in their series in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Despite Indiana winning the first two games, this is still expected to be a tight series due to the teams' rivalry and Milwaukee guard Damian Lillard returning from injury to aid forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.
