Indiana is now up 3-1 against Milwaukee after round 1 of the East Players, scoring a 126-113 Game 4 win Monday (PHL) at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, the Bucks simply could not hang with the Pacers.
Giannis has ben out all series with a calf issue, while Lillard sat out while dealing with his Achilles after aggravating an apparent issue in their Game 3 loss.
Behind Tyerese Haliburton, the Pacers outscored the Bucks by 10 in the third to break the game open. After completing the game-winning three-point play last time out, Hali came back in Game 4 with 24 points.

Three players scored over 20 for the Bucks, with Brook Lopez leading the way with 27. However, with another postseason marred by injuries, Milwaukee is on the verge of flaming out of round 1 again.
Game 5 is set for Wednesday (PHL).
