The Milwaukee Bucks rallied back in their playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, securing a decisive 117-101 victory in Game 3. Gary Trent Jr. delivered a stellar performance, tying a franchise playoff record with nine 3-pointers and contributing 37 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo matched Trent's scoring output while also grabbing 12 rebounds. The Bucks, trailing at halftime, dominated the second half, outscoring the Pacers 70-44. Trent, who started due to his aggressive defense, effectively contained Tyrese Haliburton, limiting his impact on the game.

Head Coach Doc Rivers praised Trent's dual-threat capability, which included both scoring and defense. The Bucks will look to build on this momentum heading into Game 4, hoping to even the series. Despite the loss, Indiana's Pascal Siakam managed 28 points, but their defense faltered against Milwaukee’s stellar shooting, particularly in the second half. The Bucks' ability to shoot 11-for-18 from beyond the arc after halftime proved pivotal in shifting the game's momentum.
