The Indiana Pacers look to close out the Milwaukee Bucks in a first-round matchup of their NBA playoff series.
After a 129-103 Game 4 win in Milwaukee, the Pacers return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, hoping to advance to play the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round. Milwaukee will be without All-Star guard Damian Lillard, who suffered a season-ending injury in Game 4.
