Buddy Hield finally finds the bottom of the net with 2 seconds left in the half. 68-66 Bucks at the break. 13 for Middleton, 10 for Giannis, 12 for Toppin and 10 for Haliburton. Big time scoring night. – 8:07 PM

Half: Bucks 68, Pacers 66
– Middleton 13pts/4reb/4ast
– Antetokounmpo 10pts/6reb/4ast
– Lillard 8pts/3ast
– Beasley 8pts
– Beauchamp 8pts – 8:07 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Obi Toppin just went for an offensive rebound but didn’t get it, but he used his momentum to grab the rim and turn his body around. Faster than actually rotating and running the opposite direction. Can’t recall seeing a player do that. – 8:04 PM

I’m glad the Pacers finally added a black strip with ’30’ to their jerseys in honor of George McGinnis, who passed away two weeks ago.
Just like they did with Mel Daniels and Slick Leonard before him.
No. 30 is one of four uniform numbers retired by the team. – 8:02 PM

Obi Toppin just put this one back off of a free throw 🤯 pic.twitter.com/1JdqmE7xt6 – 7:56 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Myles Turner misses two free throws, but Obi Toppin catches the Bucks with their pants down and zoomed in for an offensive rebound + putback dunk. Big play. And Toppin hits a reserve layup on the next possession. – 7:53 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Obi Toppin just got a tip dunk off of a missed Myles Turner free throw.
That just can’t happen. – 7:53 PM

Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
It’s dangerous to double Giannis.

That 13-4 run has the Bucks up, 47-43, with 6:43 left in the second quarter. – 7:50 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers bench isn’t completely crushing the Bucks like they did on Monday. And Milwaukee is 7/15 from deep. It’s been close the whole way so far, but Bucks now up 47-43. – 7:49 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Three minutes into the second quarter, the Pacers still lead, 39-38.
The Bucks are 6-of-13 from 3 to start the game tonight. – 7:42 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Key stat in the first quarter: Bucks attempted just one FT – and Dame missed. And rebounds were a wash.
Giannis’ first FGA was with 4secs left. And thus, a 33-31 Pacers lead. – 7:37 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
33-31 Pacers after one quarter. Jalen Smith has 7 to lead the Pacers, though many guys had multiple made baskets. Good energy from Indiana, but they’ll need to pick it up slightly on defense. Rim won’t be as open as it was early all night. – 7:36 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
After one quarter, the Pacers lead, 33-31.
Seven of the eight Bucks players that have seen the floor have scored. Pretty even scoring for the Bucks thus far. – 7:35 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Terrific first quarter from Isaiah Jackson. – 7:32 PM

Bobby Portis has added four points off the bench tonight and MarJon Beauchamp added a quick bucket as well.
Pacers up, 23-22, with 3:13 left in the first quarter. – 7:26 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Pat Connaughton, Bobby Portis and MarJon Beauchamp are the first three off the bench for the Bucks tonight. – 7:24 PM

Bennedict Mathurin checks in and drills a 3. Many of his best games this season have come against the Bucks. – 7:22 PM

Pacers-Bucks note: Umpire Jenna Reneau (#93) is one of the three game officials.
She’s one of eight non-staff NBA officials this season — and last night she was the Crew Chief for the Mad Ants-Warriors G League game. – 7:21 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
With 6:43 left in the first quarter, the Pacers lead, 16-13.
Malik Beasley is leading the Bucks with six points, while Damian Lillard is right behind him with five points. – 7:18 PM

Bruce Brown is starting for the Pacers today. It’s Haliburton, Brown, Nesmith, Smith, and Turner. That lineup has — no typo — less than 1 second of playing time together this season.
Here is it – a rebound against the Cavaliers on November 3: pic.twitter.com/1aldX8xlZI – 6:38 PM

Per Bucks coach Adrian Griffin, AJ Green suffered his nasal fracture at the Bucks’ practice on Dec. 31.
He did not end up needing a procedure to fix that nasal fracture, per the Bucks, and he will join the team in San Antonio. – 5:42 PM

AJ Green is out tonight for the Bucks. Pat Connaughton is a game time decision. Khris Middleton is expected to play. – 5:33 PM

Peter Vecsey @PeterVecsey1
The other night, during a Knicks’ telecast against the Pacers, Wally Szczerbiak said Tinsley “came out of nowhere.” Iowa State is not nowhere. Jamaal was first round pick (27), one ahead of Tony Parker… – 2:31 PM

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
The NBA has removed Miami at Portland from the national television schedule. Apparently the absence of Damian Lillard for either team played into the decision. – 2:11 PM

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Because Damian Lillard apparently wasn’t traded to the Heat, TNT today dumped the Heat at Blazers game on Feb. 27 and replaced it with Houston-OKC. Also, because of the writer’s and actor’s strikes (now resolved), ABC has NBA next 5 Wednesdays, beginning with Bulls-Knicks tonight – 2:07 PM

Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
If Pascal Siakam is traded to the Pacers my prediction is Buddy Hield + Obi Toppin + one of Aaron Nesmith, Jarace Walker, or Bennedict Mathurin.
That’s essentially what Indiana would have to give up to sign Siakam without being a luxury tax team – 2:01 PM
