NBA fans in Indianapolis waited five years to see a playoff game in their city again. The Indiana Pacers delivered an epic night for them.
INDIANAPOLIS — Game 3 of the Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks first-round series went exactly how the atmosphere said it should go. It was an epic, exciting, down-to-the-wire battle that was thrilling for fans and huge for the Pacers . After four years outside of the playoffs, it was perfect for Indiana fans.
"That was unreal. Don't get me started. That was everything I hoped for," Pacers center Myles Turner said of the fans and the atmosphere after the game. The building erupted after guard Tyrese Haliburton skied in for an offensive rebound late in the first quarter and ignited a passing sequence that led to a three-point shot from T.J. McConnell.
As the lead hovered around 15 for much of the second quarter, attendees continued to show a different level of engagement for the playoff action. They went crazy when McConnell, a fan-favorite, entered the game for the first time. Every foul by a Pacers player, even obviously correct foul calls, were met with boos. Mid range two point shots — a basket typically met with little fanfare or excitement — were thrilling buckets met with excited cheers.
Were it not for the crowd, the Pacers may have been trailing sooner. And were it not for the crowd, they may have had a difficult time fighting hard in the final minutes. Instead, Indiana battled, and they were never down, or up, by more than three points for the rest of the night.
