A wide-open dunk by Tyrese Haliburton sent the game to overtime, and then Gary Trent Jr. fumbled a pass out of bounds to set Haliburton up for a game-winning layup as the Pacers pulled out an improbable 119-118 victory.

The Indiana Pacers guard spearheaded his team's stunning comeback to eliminate the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round for the second consecutive season. He scored five straight points in the last 17 seconds of overtime, including two on the game-winner, as the home team closed on an 8-0 run to win 119-118 and clinch the series 4-1 in five games.

The Bucks had won the NBA championship in 2021, but they have now exited the playoffs in the first round three years in a row. Antetokounmpo can opt out of his contract in the summer of 2027, and in the meantime, the Bucks have an aging and thinning roster with limited trade assets.
