In a thrilling Game 3, the Pacers stuck to their guns to secure a 121-118 overtime victory. Tyrese Haliburton emerged as the hero, recording his first career playoff triple-double with 18 points, 16 assists, and 10 rebounds. Despite struggling offensively (8-of-22 shooting), he delivered the game-winning three-pointer in the final seconds of overtime. Myles Turner provided a dominant inside presence with a playoff career-high 29 points and 9 rebounds, and Pascal Siakam chipped in with a well-rounded performance of 17 points and 9 rebounds. The Pacers nearly blew it, as they had led by 19 points in the first quarter.

Honestly, Dame was really struggling. In the overtime, he literally said, 'I'll be the decoy. I just can't go as far as explosion.' So, I thought Dame just being out there was huge for us.

The Bucks face an uphill battle after a disappointing Game 3 loss. Their offense sputtered, especially from Damian Lillard, who was hampered by injuries. However, Khris Middleton emerged as a bright spot, exploding for a playoff career-high 42 points, including a clutch three-pointer that forced overtime. Bobby Portis provided a double-double with 17 points and 18 rebounds, but the Bucks' supporting cast needs to step up to alleviate the pressure on Middleton. With the chances of Damian Lillard continuing in the series up in the air, the Bucks will need to find a way to win on the road if they are to avoid falling behind 3-1 in the series.
