Myles Turner, Tyrese Haliburton lead the way for Pacers
Aside from Haliburton’s heroics, big man Myles Turner had a mammoth game for the Pacers on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, too. He was 10 for 21 from the field for 29 points and nine boards. Hali’s backcourt mate, Andrew Nembhard, also scored 16 points.
The Bucks continue to be without Giannis Antetokounmpo due to a calf injury and it’s clearly hurting them. Although Milwaukee was in this one thanks to Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard, they need The Greek Freak on both ends of the floor, especially defensively considering the Pacers have one of the best offenses around.
