The Indiana Pacers left the door to lead 33-25 after the first quarter against Milwaukee's Bucks to start the first Playoff game in the NBA in the 2025 season.
Indiana trusted the score of several ways with Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin, reaching double digits before the break.
The money, on the other hand, was mostly inclined to the MVP Esperançador de Giannis Antekounmpo to manage the score in the first two periods. Greek Freak lived on the line, accumulating 8 free -throw attempts before the first period ended.

The Bucks struggled to hang up with the pacers when their talisman Giannis Antekounmpo sat down at the beginning of the second quarter.
The Peacers star, Tyrese Halliburton, started 0-4 of the field, passing without score in the first, but began to score freely with a disposition and a shooting jumper of the Middle Gamma.
The defense of the pacers stifled the bucks who made several changes and found themselves down from 24 points in half.

Amlan began to fall into basketball after seeing the San Antonio Spurs in 2012 and 2013. He saw a group of veteran legends, undervalued and a young defensive beak expanded the time of rule of Spurs in a team -oriented style, reminiscent of the 2011 FC Barcelona's aesthetic shine.
Amlan has supported the Spurs ever since, even after supporting the turnover of the Ray Allen corner three and several years in the post-Kawhi Leonard Wilderness. He hopes that Victor Wembanyama will become the face of the league as Pop heads for sunset.
