Bucks’ Season Ends in Overtime Heartbreak: Pacers Win 119–118
In a dramatic overtime thriller, the Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Indiana Pacers, 119–118, and were eliminated in the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
The Bucks surged ahead early, opening with a 13–0 run and building a double-digit lead. Giannis Antetokounmpo dazzled with a triple-double—30 points, 20 rebounds, and 13 assists—while Gary Trent Jr. dropped a game-high 33 points, including clutch threes in overtime. Despite their efforts, key mistakes in the final minute proved costly.
The Pacers rallied with poise. Tyrese Haliburton delivered 26 points and nine assists, including the game-winning layup with just one second left. Indiana’s late-game surge erased a seven-point deficit, capitalizing on Bucks’ turnovers to seal the victory.
This loss marks Milwaukee’s third straight first-round exit and their second consecutive playoff Football defeat to Indiana. With standout performances from Giannis and Trent unable to overcome the late Pacers push, the Bucks face another offseason of tough questions.
